As of FY 2025, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reported that 454,931 policies were active under the Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI) program.
While VGLI remains a popular and straightforward option for many separating service members, it's just one piece of a much larger financial puzzle when transitioning from military to civilian life. The transition out of uniform is a major financial turning point, and the default options aren't always the best for building long-term security.
That's why specialized firms like the Williamsburg-based GLB Financial Services are getting noticed. They offer military-specific guidance that national carriers often can't, built on the firsthand experience of its founder, a 29-year retired Army officer and combat veteran.
