disbursed? The importance of knowing the coverage and required premium for you and your spouse’s life
insurance cannot be over emphasized. Have peace of mind and log in to your “my pay” at:
https://mypay.dfas.mil/mypay.aspx. The SGLI coverage is available in $50,000.00 ($3.25 in premium)
increments up to the maximum of $400,000.00. ($27.00 in premium), which includes mandatory
