Veterans Group Life Insurance (VGLI) is a great option for those service members separating or retiring who cannot medically qualify for a regular life insurance policy. You are guaranteed to be able to convert your SGLI to VGLI if you do it within their time frame, without medical underwriting.
HOWEVER, if you can medically qualify, there IS a better alternative than VGLI -- AAFMAA. Our Level Term II policy can save you thousands of dollars in premiums over the life of the policy. Go to the Get a Quote section of AAFMAA's website at www.aafmaa.com and compare our Level Term II policy to VGLI. Select the amount of years you desire the Level Term II policy and your results will pop right up.
When you get your quote, you will also see the first two VGLI rate groups for your age. Remember, VGLI premiums increase every five years according to age; Level Term II premiums remain the same for the entire term. As an example, below are premiums for a $400,000 10-Year Level Term II policy for a 45-year-old male.
