For Military, By Military

As a blogger on the issues facing the military community and its families, I am well aware of the uncertainties our active and veteran service members are feeling at this time – particularly from the threat of downsizing. Many military members across our country will be making hard choices in the days ahead that could have a permanent impact on the financial security of their families. No one who has honorably served this country should be forced to decide between quality of life for their families and their long-term financial security. And yet, that’s what many will be asked to do when they will have to opt to pay for higher-cost commercial life insurance or to go without. And this is but one of the many choices these folks will have to make about retirement, survivor benefits and more.
AAFMAA, a mutual aid association created by members of the military for members of the military, allows military veterans not to have to make the above choice. It provides low-cost life insurance, survivor services, and financial planning to those who risk everything for this country. Not many veterans know about AAFMAA, though, and that’s why I am informing you all about it today.

All AAFMAA Life Insurance Policies Include:

Competitive rates for service members and military spouses
Survivor Assistance Services for members’ spouses
No war, terrorist or aviation clauses, exclusions or surcharges
No coverage limitations based on deployment status
Coverage available up to $1,000,000 ($800,000 term)
Continuation after separation or retirement from the Military (as policy allows)

AAFMAA was found in 1879 after “Custer’s Last Stand.” It has 90,000 members and more than $1 billion in assets. All Active Duty, Retired, Guard, Reserve and Veterans (residing in Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, or Virginia) of the American Armed Forces are eligible to join.

AAFMAA offers SpouseLink.org, an invaluable online tool connecting and strengthening the broad network of military spouses who hold these families together.

AAFMAA offers insurance, financial, and survival services for veterans and their families. One product that is very popular among service members is the CAP Loan. It is a one-time $4,000 loan with 1.5% interest to qualified members. Details are here if you are interested: https://www.aafmaa.com/BrowseProducts/CAPLoan/CAPLoanInformation.aspx

An especially unique aspect of AAFMAA is its invaluable online tool connecting and strengthening the broad network of military spouses who hold these families together, SpouseLink.
