Regular reviews to keep military life insurance limits up with prices

Also known as: Fairness for Servicemembers and their Families Act of 2025

Key Points

  • Starting Jan. 1, 2026, the VA must check every 5 years if the max life insurance for troops and veterans still fits today’s costs
  • The check looks at how much prices rose over the past five years to see if coverage should be higher
  • Results go to Congress and can guide increases so payouts don’t fall behind inflation
  • This does not automatically raise coverage or premiums; it creates a schedule to review and recommend changes
  • If limits rise in the future, families could get better protection when a service member or veteran dies
