Our staff is here to answer your questions, help you choose the right Life Insurance, and guide you through every stage of Military life.

A Solid Structure

AAFMAA is a non-profit, member-owned association with over 89,000 members. Our strong financial foundation is the result of careful investing of membership dollars. All member families receive our Survivor Assistance Services, including prompt benefits payments and filing of claim forms with Government and insurance providers. Payment is certain in the event of a combat death because our policies have No war clause, No aviation clause or exclusion, and No terrorist clause.

A History Rooted in the Needs of the Military

The Army Mutual Aid Association was established in 1879 as a result of the Battle of Little Big Horn, also known as "Custer's Last Stand." During frontier times when an officer died, the remaining soldiers would literally "pass the hat" to raise money for the surviving family. With too few soldiers to pass the hat, the system collapsed, leaving the deceased soldiers' families in need. To remedy this situation, Army officers established the Army Mutual Aid Association.

Over 134 years later, AAFMAA is protecting all members of the Armed Forces and their families with coverage up to $1,000,000 and over $1 billion in assets.

A Strong Future

AAFMAA remains committed to providing the absolute lowest-cost Life Insurance policies to the Military. Younger insureds can save up to 27% over SGLI with our Level Term I policy. Older members can save thousands of dollars over VGLI with our Level Term II policy. Unlike Government plans, you can keep and buy more AAFMAA policies after you leave the Military.
