Armed Forces Benefit Association (AFBA)
Founded to Serve Our Great Nation
For nearly 70 years, AFBA has stood by our country’s armed forces. AFBA provides life insurance in both war and peace to those who serve this great nation including our military, emergency first responders, government employees, and their families.
AFBA was created as a nonprofit organization in 1947 with the support of General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower "to promote the general welfare and economic interests of its members and their families by providing superior benefits and services principally to military families during peace and war." At that time, servicemembers could not purchase life insurance that would pay a death benefit if the member was killed in a war zone.
What makes AFBA unique is that the insurance coverage offered to its members continues to have no combat or terrorism exclusions. AFBA also offers other financial benefits and services to its members.
Key Features:
• No combat or terrorism exclusions
• No hazardous, line of duty, or occupational restrictions
• Coverage ON and OFF duty
• Emergency death benefit payment of up to $15,000 within one business day of notification
• $40,000 family survivor college scholarship
