PREC 6-2006    Applicability of SGLI Tax Exemption to TSGLI - 38 U.S.C. §§ 1970(g), 1980A       Citation: Vet. Aff. Op. Gen Couns. Prec. 5-2006,  VAOPGCPREC 6-2006, 2006

QUESTION PRESENTED:

 

You asked us whether the tax exemption provided by 38 U.S.C. § 1970(g) to payments due or to become due under the Department of Veterans Affairs Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) program also applies to payments under Traumatic SGLI (TSGLI).  We have concluded that it does.

 

HELD:  The tax exemption provided by 38 U.S.C. § 1970(g) to payments due or to become due under the Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance program also applies in the same manner to payments due or to become due under the traumatic injury protection provided by 38 U.S.C. § 1980A.
