like the insurance that she was supposed to get, is it gone then? Since she dies before he does?

It goes to the next of kin. Whether that is a child, parents, a sibling, ect. Someone will get the money.
When you have SGLI, like most insurance, you have the primary, then a secondary listed. Now, if his wife dies, he would go in, change the insurance, and name a new primary and secondary.
For example, when I was in, the primary was my sister, then my parents. I did my little sister first because my parent's wouldn't really need the money, and I figured my sis could use it for college or whatever.
But, say I was home on leave, with my sister, and we were both killed in a car accident. The money would have gone to my parents.
Now, if there is no one named, and no next of kin can be found, I do not know what would happen to the money.

The service member designates a "main" beneficiary, and an "alternate" beneficiary. The money, in this case, would go to the alternate beneficiary. If no alternate was designated, then the money will go "by law", which is children, father, mother, siblings.
That's why it's important to update the SGLI form and to have a will.

No, usually the person has a secondary person listed to recieve the funds if something like that should happen. For example my husband has me listed as primary to recieve his SGLI but secondary is the person we have designated to take care of our children should something happen to me as well as him.

Usually it will go to the next of kin like pretty much a general will.
Most likely it would go to a parent or child of the military member, unless he had it changed.
I know when I was in they were on us all the time to keep it updated so I wouldn't worry to much.

His nearest relatives(father and mother). You have to make that selection when you sign up for the SGLI.

When you fill out the paperwork, after you identify the initial person to receive your benefits, you write, "By Law". That allows the payment of your money to be divided up between parents and siblings...........

he can designate anyone to receive it. in fact, most of the time you are required to list 2 or 3 recipients, to be divvied up however he wants.

NO, there will be another beneficiary named...usually his parents, or the next closest "next of kin" if they are not longer alive.
