The State Sponsored Life Insurance (SSLI)

The State Sponsored Life Insurance (SSLI) program is derived from United States Public Law 93-289, May 1974, Title 37, Section 707, and is offered through the Nebraska National Guard. The program is comprised of a combination of several voluntary group life insurance policies sponsored by the National Guard Association of Nebraska. SSLI is available to all members of the Nebraska National Guard, officer and enlisted. The National Guard Association of Nebraska (NGA-NE) administers the program under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Military Department.

The NGN-NE is a member of the Militia Insurance Trust (MIT). The Militia Insurance Trust is comprised of 13 National Guard Associations.

Every eligible member of the Nebraska National Guard is covered with $1,000 SSLI at no cost to the member. This $1,000 benefit is provided through the Militia Insurance Trust’s Guardian Group Term Life Insurance Policy.
