State Sponsored Life Insurance (SSLI)

The State Sponsored Life Insurance (SSLI) program is derived from United States Public Law 93-289, May 1974, Title 37, Section 707 and is offered through the Minnesota National Guard. The program is comprised of a combination of several voluntary group life insurance policies sponsored by the National Guard Association of Minnesota. SSLI is available to all members of the Minnesota National Guard, officer and enlisted. The National Guard Association of Minnesota administers the program under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Military Department.

The NGAMN is a member of the Militia Insurance Trust (MIT). The Militia Insurance Trust is comprised of 14 National Guard Associations.

Every eligible member of the Minnesota National Guard is covered with $1,000 SSLI at no cost to the member. This $1,000 benefit is provided through the Militia Insurance Trust’s Guardian Group Term Life Insurance Policy.
