It all depends on how much the soldier (marine, airman, etc) puts into their SGLI (Service Group Life Insurance) which can be from none to...pretty much as much as they want. The money for this does come out of their paycheck, but the amount is usually negligible. It's always nice to know your family has that safety net.

It would depend on who is beneficiary is and how much money he has in life insurance. With the Army that is how it works.
Money regardless how much does not even help with the pain and suffering you will have to endure the rest of your lives from missing a love one.
You should have used some tact when asking this question.

I agree with those that said you should be more concerned that your Marine come home alive than how much you get if he were to die. I could care less how much I would receive if God forbid something happened to one of my children in the service, all I want is for them to be safe and come home to the family.... God Bless all of our Service Members, vets and current

There is a possible total of $450,000 if he/she opted for the max SGLI. It can also be distributed amongst different peoples, again depending on what they elected when choosing insurance. Max SGLI is $400,000 and there is a one time payment made to the next of kin for $50,000.

I have found that basing my answers on what was done 30 years ago when I was in is a bad idea.
The link below shows it can be as much as $400,000.00. It can be reduced by the service member. So the correct answer seems to be $400,000.00 or less.

I don't believe that you should be a money grubber and be worried about how much money you get when your marine dies during his service. You should take that time to remember them and be greatful that they were a part of your life. Worrying about the money is very selfish

thats a disgusting question and I refuse to believe you even asked it.
For one, the Marine gets the undying respect of an entire nation, or at least, those of us with any dignity and respect left.
Secondly, the family is shown courtesies by the military in and out of, respect.
Lastly, a veteran that spent any time in active service is eligible for a resting place in a National Veterans Cemetary.

All military personnell are required to maintain a minimum of 250,000$ in life insurance, and you can get it from the military at no additional cost. If you want more than that, you must pay for it out of pocket.

Life insurance policy (they pay for) is up to 250 grand. They may have raised it since I retired 3 years ago but it really doesn't matter. It all depends on how much they want to pay every month. Surviving children also get social security and all that crap.

I'm an active duty Marine. It's $400,000. Does that answer your question?
