    If a member desires SGLI coverage in the amount of $80,000, how do you determine the premium cost?

    • Each $10K increment costs 90 cents, therefore 8 x .90 = $7.20

    • Each $10K increment costs 80 cents, therefore 8 x .80 = $6.40

    • Each $10K increment costs 70 cents, therefore 8 x .70 = $5.60

    Explanation
    The premium cost for SGLI coverage is determined by multiplying the number of $10K increments by the cost per increment. In this case, each $10K increment costs 80 cents, so the premium cost for 8 increments would be 8 x .80 = $6.40.
