I was told I could double my life insurance from the ARMY?

Question

true or false?

how?

Answer 1

You can pay more money to increase the SGLI up to $400,000 and there are third party policies made for the military that offer more.  However, the third party ones might have clauses the SGLI doesn't have.

Answer 2

You can go up to $400,000 with the SGLI.    If you want more than that you need to buy a civilian policy.  Make sure it does not have a war clause exclusion in it in case you die on duty.  

Answer 3

if your current life insurance policy is $200,00.

The current SGLI(Service member Groupl Life Insurance) is currently $400,000. The military will cover you for upto that much while on active duty.

This is entitled to all military personnel.

so if you have a $200,000 policy, then yes. you could double your life insurance.
