The best life insurance option for veterans in 2026 is private level-premium term insurance for healthy applicants, and VGLI (Veterans' Group Life Insurance — the VA's post-service group policy) for those with serious health conditions.

VGLI vs. private term: VGLI is guaranteed-issue with no medical exam but premiums rise every 5 years, while private term requires underwriting but locks rates for 10-30 years.

Veterans should consider replacing VGLI in 2026 because private term rates have stayed flat while VGLI premiums escalate at every 5-year age band.

A veteran should keep VGLI when they have service-connected disabilities, chronic conditions, or any health issue that would result in a substandard private rating or decline.
