The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulations governing Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI), Family SGLI, SGLI Traumatic Injury Protection, and Veterans' Group Life Insurance (all hereafter referred to as SGLI). The purpose of this amendment is to acknowledge and clarify what is implicit in the law that VA, which has the responsibility under the law to oversee the SGLI programs and ensure their proper operation, also has the right to full access of records held by the insurer or on behalf of the insurer from whom VA has purchased a policy. These records include all the insurer's records related to the operation and administration of the SGLI programs necessary to protect the legal and financial rights of the Government and of the people affected by the activities of the agency and its agents.
