Rhode Island S2029 raises the state-provided life insurance for National Guard members to $500,000 when called to federal duty.

Rhode Island S2029 amends the General Laws to increase the amount of life insurance the state provides at no charge to Rhode Island National Guard members called up for federal duty to five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). This change ensures that any member of the National Guard who has been mobilized for over thirty days and elects coverage under a federal term life insurance policy will receive reimbursement for the premiums from the state's general fund.
