SGLV 8286, Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance Election and Certificate
If you are in any uniformed service, and have full-time SGLI coverage…
You no longer need to use the SGLV 8286 to make SGLI elections! You can now manage your Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) coverage using the SGLI Online Enrollment System (SOES). SOES allows Servicemembers with full-time SGLI coverage to make fast and easy changes to their life insurance coverage and beneficiary information at any time without completing a paper form or making a trip to their personnel office. To access SOES, sign into https://milconnect.dmdc.osd.mil/milconnect/ and go to the Benefits Tab, Life Insurance SOES - SGLI Online Enrollment System.
If you are in any uniformed service and have part-time SGLI coverage…
Use the SGLV 8286 to make SGLI coverage and beneficiary changes and submit your completed form to your branch of service personnel office.
