How can I determine if I am eligible for Gulf War SGLI?

My wife came back from the Gulf War and passed away because of Gulf War Illness. I did not receive SGLI because they stated (at the time) that there was no such thing. Now that they acknowledge it, do I still rate the SGLI insurance?

Was your wife covered by SGLI at the time of her passing? I.e. Did she have an active policy? SGLI is just a term life insurance policy. You bet you'll die, they bet you won't for the term of the policy. Once the term is up, that's it. Only recently did they devised a bridge policy called VGLI. Which is exponentially expensive.

I don't know if this fits your situation. https://www.benefits.va.gov/INSURANCE/resources_handbook_ins_chapter8.asp
