Fairness for Servicemembers and their Families Act of 2025

S 385, the Fairness for Servicemembers and their Families Act of 2025, requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to review the automatic maximum coverage amount for Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) and Veterans’ Group Life Insurance (VGLI) every five years starting in 2026. The review compares the current coverage limit to a new amount calculated as $500,000 multiplied by the average change in the Consumer Price Index over the previous five years. This adjustment mechanism ensures coverage levels better reflect inflation, directly affecting active-duty servicemembers and veterans enrolled in these insurance programs. The bill mandates that the review results be submitted to congressional committees, potentially guiding future coverage increases within existing administrative structures.
