Life insurance member benefits
For more than 75 years, the Armed Forces Benefit Association (AFBA) has remained steadfast in our mission to protect all who go in harm’s way for this great nation, with life insurance member benefits that provide the certainty they need and the peace of mind they deserve.
Life beyond the benefit
We deliver support that goes beyond life, with member benefits that include a college scholarship for the spouse and children of members who die in the line of duty or at the scene of an incident. AFBA members also have access to other member benefits catered to the unique needs of service life. Learn more below.
Family survivor college scholarship
As a unique member benefit, AFBA is proud to offer families of eligible fallen members the Charles C. Blanton AFBA Family Survivor College Scholarship. Surviving spouse and children are eligible for $10,000 per year, up to a total maximum benefit for the entire family of $40,000 toward an undergraduate degree, license or certification.
Not available in New York. In Virginia, only available to First Responders.
Emergency death benefit
Once coverage is in place for two years, a portion of the total death benefit can be released as an Emergency Death Benefit. This allows families to pay for things such as the funeral and other unexpected expenses that may arise from the death of a loved one.
