§1922A — Title 38 Veterans' Benefits | U.S. Code

Summary

If you have the service-disabled veterans’ life insurance under 1922(a) and qualify for a premium waiver under 1912, you can get extra coverage up to $30,000. You must apply to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs by October 31, 1993, or within one year after the Secretary tells you you qualify for the waiver, whichever is later. No applications were accepted after December 31, 2022. The extra coverage follows the same rules as the basic 1922(a) insurance, but you must apply before turning 65. You cannot get a premium waiver for this extra coverage. Also, you generally cannot have this supplemental policy at the same time as the 1922B policy, except as another rule allows.
