The Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance Traumatic Injury Protection program (TSGLI) marks its 20th anniversary in December 2025, having provided essential financial support to eligible service members recovering from traumatic injuries since its inception. TSGLI offers a one-time payment ranging from $25,000 to $100,000, depending on the severity of the injury, to members of the uniformed services covered by Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI). The program, which costs just $1 per month, covers serious injuries such as loss of sight, hearing, amputation, or severe burns. This financial assistance is intended to support service members and their families during the challenging treatment and rehabilitation process following traumatic injuries. Over the past two decades, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has effectively managed this vital program, helping to alleviate the economic burdens faced by those severely injured in service.
