About the program

The State Sponsored Life Insurance (SSLI) program provides group term life insurance exclusively for actively serving members of the Army and Air National Guard organizations and their dependents. The program is derived from United States Public Law 93-289, May 24, 1974, to encourage persons to join and remain in the National Guard.

Armed Forces Benefit Association (AFBA), through its wholly owned subsidiary, 5Star Life Insurance Company (5Star Life), protects National Guard families through our partnership with state associations.
