Law

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
