We've recently reevaluated some of our practices to include a more balanced approach to how we underwrite active military personnel.

 

Military personnel will be underwritten with age, rank, military status, and duty assignments taken into consideration. Applicants will be considered on a case-by-case basis if:

  • The proposed insured is not currently serving in a war/combat zone and has no deployment orders to serve in a war/combat zone
  • The proposed insured is engaged in a non-hazardous occupation or duty. Some examples include:
    • Administrative personnel
    • Construction personnel
    • Electronic and electrical equipment repair personnel
    • Engineering, science and technical personnel
    • Healthcare personnel 
    • Human resources development personnel
    • Machine operator and repair personnel
    • Media and public affairs personnel
  • The coverage amount bears a reasonable relationship to the risk from a financial standpoint
  • All other aspects of insurability are satisfied

Applicants with the following duty assignments will not be considered*:

  • U.S. Special Forces (Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, Air Force Pararescue, Marine Raiders, etc.)

Other examples of hazardous duties which would likely not be considered:

  • Artillery Specialist
  • Armored Cavalry/Recon Scout
  • Explosive Ordnance Disposal Expert
  • Forward Observers/Pathfinders
  • Combat Medic Specialist
  • Combat Engineer
  • Convoy Operations Personnel
  • Winchman/Survival Technician

Military pilots may be rated and/or require an Aviation Exclusion Rider.

*Except in VA and IL where regulations prohibit consideration of duty assignments
