Transitioning military family - USBA blog

Since September is National Life Insurance Awareness Month, now’s a good time to think about how you’ll protect your family after your SGLI runs out. When you’re a military member transitioning out of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines or Coast Guard, your SGLI ends 120 days after you leave the military.

According to a recent study*, 1 in 3 households would have immediate trouble paying their everyday living expenses if the primary wage earner died. Don’t risk leaving your loved ones unprotected for even a few weeks. Start doing your homework today.

If you’re uncertain about what kind or how much insurance to buy, you’re not alone. Four out of 10 Americans have the same problem. But as a member of the U.S. military, you have USBA to help you find the life insurance protection you need at a cost you can afford.
