Tsgli Claim Form PDF Details

The application process for the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance Traumatic Injury Protection (TSGLI) is detailed and comprehensive, designed to support members of the military who have suffered severe injuries under traumatic circumstances, with benefits that can provide crucial financial assistance during recovery. The TSGLI program, an essential rider to Service members’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI), recognizes a wide range of traumatic injuries, offering payments between $25,000 and $100,000 depending on the nature and severity of the injuries sustained. To be deemed eligible, service members must have experienced a qualifying traumatic event leading to significant physical harm while insured under SGLI. Notably, eligibility extends retroactively to those injured between October 7, 2001, and November 30, 2005, in the operations areas of Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom. Claimants are guided through a three-step filing procedure requiring documentation from both the service member (or their guardian, power of attorney, or military trustee) and a medical professional to substantiate the claim. The process underscores the importance of accurate and complete submissions to the respective branch of service's TSGLI office, with detailed instructions provided for each section of the claim form to streamline the process. Decisions on claims are made by the branch of service TSGLI office, with payments facilitated directly to the service member or, in specific cases, to an appointed individual acting on their behalf. This structured process ensures that support reaches those in need, underscoring the program's role in mitigating the financial strains that often accompany recovery from severe injuries.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance Traumatic Injury Protection (TSGLI) program is a rider to Service member’s Group Life Insurance (SGLI). The TSGLI rider provides for payment to service members who are severely injured (on or off duty) as the result of a traumatic event and suffer

a loss that qualifies for payment under TSGLI. TSGLI is designed to help traumatically injured service members and their families with financial burdens associated with recovering from a severe injury. TSGLI payments range from $25,000 to $100,000 based on the qualifying loss suffered.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

Effective December 1, 2005, all service members who are insured under SGLI and …

n experience a traumatic event

n that results in a traumatic injury

n which is listed as a qualifying loss

are eligible to receive a TSGLI payment. Service members who were severely injured between October 7, 2001, and November 30, 2005, in the theaters of operation for Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom may also be eligible for a TSGLI payment. Members should contact their branch of service for more information.

What is a Traumatic Event?

A traumatic event is the application of external force, violence, chemical, biological, or radiological weapons, accidental ingestion of a contaminated substance, or exposure to the elements that causes damage to your body.

What is a Traumatic Injury?

A traumatic injury is the physical damage to your body that results from a traumatic event.

What is a Qualifying Loss?

A qualifying loss is a traumatic injury that is listed on the TSGLI Schedule of Losses, which lists all covered losses and payment amounts. You may view the complete Schedule of Losses and other TSGLI information at www.insurance.va.gov/sgliSite/TSGLI.htm Your branch of service TSGLI office will determine whether your injury is a qualifying loss for TSGLI purposes.

COMPLETING THE FORM

Instructions on completing the TSGLI Claim Form are included in each section. When completing the form, the service member, guardian, power of attorney or military trustee must complete the service member’s Social Security number on each page of the form. If you have questions about completing the form or if the member is deceased, please contact the branch of service TSGLI office listed on the front cover of this form.

CLAIM DECISION AND PAYMENT

Who Makes the Decision on My Claim?

Your branch of service TSGLI office will make the decision on your claim based upon the information in Parts A and B of the TSGLI Claim Form. They will then forward their decision to the Office of Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (OSGLI) for appropriate action.

Who Will Receive the TSGLI Payment?

Payment will be made directly to the member. If the member is incompetent, payment will be made under the appropriate letters of guardianship/ conservatorship or a power of attorney to the guardian, power of attorney or military trustee on the member’s behalf. If the member dies after qualifying for payment, the payment will be made to the member’s current listed SGLI beneficiary(ies). The member must survive for seven days (168 hours) from the date of the traumatic event to be eligible for TSGLI.

How the TSGLI Payment Will be Made?

If your branch of service TSGLI office approves your claim, OSGLI will make the TSGLI benefit payment. There are three payment methods used for TSGLI benefits: Prudential’s Alliance Account®*, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), or check.

1.Prudential’s Alliance Account®* — (for member only) An interest-bearing account will be established in the name of the member. The member can access the money immediately using the draft book (“checkbook”). There are no monthly service fees or per-check charges and additional checks can be ordered at no additional cost. If you have any questions about Alliance, please call Alliance Customer Service toll free at 877-255-4262 or the OSGLI Claim Department toll free at 800-419-1473.

2.Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) — Your bank account will be electronically credited with the TSGLI payment amount. Depending on your bank, payments will be credited three to five days from the date the payment is authorized.

Note: If the member does not choose EFT and there is no guardian, power of attorney or military trustee, the payment will be made through Prudential’s Alliance Account.

3.Check Payment — (for guardian, power of attorney or military trustee only) A check will be issued to the guardian or power of attorney or military trustee on behalf of the member.

or on my behalf (“My Providers”) to disclose my entire medical record for me or my dependents and any other health information concerning me to the Branch of Service and Office of Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (OSGLI) and its agents, employees, and representatives. This also includes information on the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and the use of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco, but excludes psychotherapy notes. OSGLI, an administrative unit created by Prudential to administer the Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance Program and OSGLI administers the TSGLI program on behalf of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

I authorize all non-health organizations, any insurance company, employer, or other person or institutions to provide any information, data or records relating to credit, financial, earnings, travel, activities or employment history to OSGLI.

Unless limits* are shown below, this form pertains to all of the records listed above.

By my signature below, I acknowledge that any agreements I have made to restrict my protected health information do not apply to this authorization and I instruct My Providers to release and disclose my entire medical record without restriction.

This information is to be disclosed under this Authorization so that my Branch of Service and OSGLI may: 1) administer claims and determine or fulfill responsibility for coverage and provision of benefits, 2) administer coverage; and 3) conduct other legally permissible activities that relate to any coverage I have applied for with OSGLI.

This authorization shall remain in force for 24 months following the date of my signature below, while the coverage is in force, except to the extent that state law imposes a shorter duration. A copy of this authorization is as valid as the original. I understand that I have the right to revoke this authorization in writing, at any time, by sending a written request for revocation to OSGLI at: 80 Livingston Avenue, Roseland, NJ 07068. I understand that a revocation is not effective to the extent that any of My Providers has relied on this Authorization or to the extent that OSGLI has a legal right to contest a claim under an insurance policy or to contest the policy itself. I understand that any information that is disclosed pursuant to this authorization may be redisclosed and no longer covered by federal rules governing privacy and confidentiality of health information.

I understand that if I refuse to sign this authorization to release my complete medical record, OSGLI may not be able to process my claim for benefits and may not be able to make any benefit payments. I understand that I have the right to request and receive a copy of this authorization.

*Limits, if any:

NOTE: This release authorizes the branch of service and OSGLI to look at medical records. You may also be asked to provide these documents.
