Background • As of 1 October, the SGLV 8286 is no longer completed as a form for the Army.

• SOES (SGLV Online Enrollment System) has replaced the manual input of SGLI benefits.

• SOES is replacing the SGLV enrollment process for the entire Department of Defense. The Air Force has been using the system for one year. Starting FY 2019, the Marines, Navy, and Coast Guard will transition to SOES. • SOES does not replace the need to review and update information yearly. SGLI (in SOES), Record of Emergency Data (DD93), and BAH (DA5960) certification must still be completed annually.

How is SOES better?

• Updating SOES will make SGLI changes immediate.

• You no longer have to make an appointment with your unit HR staff to make changes.

• You can update the SGLI from any internet connected computer.

• If someone is elected to receive your SGLI benefits that is not an “ordinary” election, a letter will automatically be sent to your spouse / parents.

• A separate FSGLI form is no longer required.

• Units can easily identify who is in need of updating their SGLI.
