The Air Force's 12 month implementation of Servicemember's Group Life Insurance Online Enrollment System (SOES) will begin August 2017 and conclude July 2018. SOES will allow Total Force Airmen with full-time SGLI coverage to make online changes to their life insurance coverage and beneficiary information at any time without having to complete a paper form or make a trip to their personnel office.

Beginning this summer, Total Force Airmen with a birthday in August, deploying, separating, or retiring during that month must update their SGLI/FSGLI elections and coverage levels in SOES prior to out-processing.

SOES will be accessible in August 2017 via milConnect Internet Explorer and by clicking on Life Insurance (SOES-SGLI Online Enrollment System) under the "Benefits" tab. You will receive notice from leadership when SOES is available to make sure your SGLI coverage and beneficiaries are up-to-date.

If you need to increase or decrease coverage right now, the election must be completed in the Customer Service Section of the MPS no later than July 27, 2017. No elections increasing or decreasing coverage can be updated in Military Personnel Data System between July 28-31. Airmen requesting an increase, decrease or change of coverage July 28-31 are encouraged to complete the change Aug. 1 in SOES.

Please direct any questions to the Customer Service Section of the MPS at 963-2055.
