Armed Forces Benefit Association
Founded to Serve Our Great Nation
For over seventy-five years, the Armed Forces Benefit Association, AFBA, has stood by our country's armed forces. AFBA provides life insurance in both war and peace to those who serve this great nation including our military, first responders and federal employees.
AFBA was created as a nonprofit organization in 1947 with the support of General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower to ease the strain on military members and their families during wartime. At that time, service members could not purchase life insurance that would pay a death benefit if the member was killed in a war zone.
What makes AFBA unique is that its insurance continues to maintain its low cost while having no war or terrorism exclusions. Today, AFBA also offers other financial benefits and services to its members.
AFBA Stands By Its Members
AFBA has paid life insurance claims in excess of $2 billion to the families of members who lost lives in the Korean, Vietnam and Persian Gulf conflicts, the attack on the Pentagon and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Association continues to keep its roll open during the "War on Terrorism." AFBA has over 535,000 members insured with over $37 billion of insurance in force.
