TSGLI Help Available

Soldiers and their families who have questions about eligibility for Traumatic Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (TSGLI) can now find answers from experts posted at 10 military treatment facilities across the country. The experts, called Soldier Family Support Specialists, provide help with claims forms, medical documentation assistance, payment information and other issues.
