Review Your AAFMAA Life Insurance Policy Information

Your 2018 AAFMAA Annual Policy Statements will be on their way to you soon. Your AAFMAA life insurance is a critical part of securing your loved ones’ financial future. Take a few minutes to review your 2018 AAFMAA statements and make sure the following information is still accurate.

Military Benefits for Disabled Adult Children

In order to remain eligible for military benefits, sponsors who have disabled adult children must complete a financial dependency redetermination requirement every four years. If you fail to do so, it may result in a loss of DEERS eligibility and military benefits for the disabled dependent.

Do You Own a Policy Insuring Someone Else?

If you haven't already, it's time to designate a successor owner to your AAFMAA insurance policy, if it covers your spouse or child. By naming a successor owner, AAFMAA is able to automatically transfer ownership of a policy over to that person upon your death. But if you do not take this simple step now, your policy will become part of the property of your estate, which can lead to time-consuming and costly administrative steps for your spouse or other loved ones.

SGLI Online Enrollment System (SOES)

It just became a whole lot easier to update your Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI). SGLI is a program that provides life insurance coverage to eligible servicemembers. The Department of Defense has implemented the new SGLI Online Enrollment System (SOES) to replace the previous paper-based enrollment system.

Saving and investing in a low interest rate environment

It's impossible to forget the financial crisis of 2007-2008. Large investment banks failed, the government had to bail out financial institutions and other huge corporations, and Americans saw the values of their homes drop significantly. The Federal Reserve responded with a new economic policy, and many elements of those changes are still in place a decade later. Here are 4 basic strategies for making your money grow in our low interest rate economy. 

 

AAFMAA ResourcesLife InsurancePersonal FinanceFinancial Planning & Investment

Your life will change, so the way you protect loved ones should, too.

If something were to happen to you today, is your family protected?  When we first started serving, it was relatively simple to provide financial security for our loved ones. The $400,000 life insurance coverage we received through SGLI most likely met all of our needs. Not only do rising prices make life increasingly expensive, but, as life’s circumstances change – we marry, buy a house, have children, and perhaps need to care for others – we have greater responsibilities and a need for better financial protection.
