The Uniformed Services Benefit Association (USBA) is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas,[1] providing affordable group life insurance plans and other financial services specifically designed for active duty and retired military members and their families, as well as honorably discharged veterans, National Guard and Reserve members, and federal civilian employees.
[2] USBA was founded in 1959 to meet the needs of active duty military personnel, who at that time wanted to supplement their SGLI $10,000 benefit and had difficulty finding adequate life insurance coverage that would cover combat-related deaths.
[3] Over the years USBA expanded to offer those same insurance products and services to active reserves, National Guard, Federal Employees, honorably discharged veterans, and others.
[7] USBA membership is open to active duty servicemembers, retired military, honorably discharged veterans, National Guard and Reserve members, federal civilian employees and their families.
