Viewing Your Life Insurance Benefit

The top of the Life Insurance (SOES-SGLI Online Enrollment System) page displays the last four (4) digits of your SSN, your Rank, your Grade, and the date that your SGLI was last certified.

On the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent page, click Continue.

If you have not yet clicked the Confirm & Certify button to submit and confirm changes to your coverage, the system displays the Welcome to SOES page.

Click Continue if necessary.

The system displays your marital information as recorded in DEERS and asks you to confirm whether each item is correct.

Select Yes or No after each item, then click Continue.

If you answer "Yes" to each question, the system displays current coverage for you and your family members (FSGLI).
If you answer "No" to any question, a message displays stating you cannot change your FSGLI coverage until you correct the information in DEERS. You can still view and change your SGLI coverage. Select the checkbox to acknowledge the message.
