Abstract
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations governing Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI), Family SGLI (FSGLI), and Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI) to allow an alternate applicant to apply for an Accelerated Benefit when a member is terminally ill and mentally incapacitated or when a member's insured spouse is terminally ill and the member is mentally incapacitated. VA also proposes to define key terms to assist in adjudicating FSGLI dependent child and Accelerated Benefit claims, and to remove addresses, telephone numbers, and the reproduction of the Accelerated Benefit application form from the text of the regulations.
