*****Personnel Should Review Their Single Group Life Insurance (SGLI)
Policies

It is imperative that all AF members view and verify that their SGLI
beneficiaries and payment options meet their intent. It is "each
member's responsibility" to ensure that their records are true and
factual and that all elections have been placed in their records
correctly. Your family's future could depend on it! This is a
Pre-Deployment concern, and if you have not done so for over a year, you
should review these. You may view your SGLV 8286 in PRDA at the AFPC
Secure Website under miscellaneous items.

For more information, please contact 50 FSS Customer Service of 50
FSS/FSMPS at 567-5900 or at Mauricio.villasuso@schriever.af.mil.
