Show Notes

If you’re a military retiree, veteran, or federal employee, your life insurance options don’t end when your career does—but the costs can change dramatically.

In this episode, Rayna breaks down the key differences between Veterans Group Life Insurance (VGLI) and Federal Employee Group Life Insurance (FEGLI), including how premiums increase over time and what that means for your retirement budget.

You’ll learn how pricing shifts at key age milestones, why many retirees reduce or eliminate coverage, and how to think through your options if you’re currently paying for both. Rayna also highlights important considerations for spouses and outside coverage, helping you make informed decisions about protecting your legacy without overpaying.
