What it is
Your military life insurance premium. Members are automatically enrolled at the maximum coverage unless they elect less in the SGLI Online Enrollment System. The deduction includes a separate one dollar for traumatic injury protection (TSGLI).
2026 rate
5 cents per $1,000 of coverage plus $1 TSGLI. Maximum $500,000 coverage costs $26.00 per month total.
What goes wrong
The premium dropped from 6 to 5 cents per $1,000 in July 2025. At full coverage that means $26, not $31. If you are still being charged the old rate in 2026, that is an error. Also check the coverage level actually matches what you elected.
