Explanation

The correct answer is Full retired pay. This means that the minimum base amount of SBP coverage a member can designate for a spouse or former spouse and children without SSBP is equal to their full retired pay. This ensures that the spouse or former spouse and children receive the maximum benefit in case of the member's death.

Explanation

The correct answer is "As least once every 10 days for the first month and once every month for the next year as long as the member remains in missing status." This answer suggests that additional visits or later contacts to the next of kin (NOK) should be conducted at least once every 10 days for the first month after notification, and then once every month for the next year, as long as the member remains in missing status. This ensures regular communication and support to the NOK during the period when the member is missing.

When a member requests to restore their insurance, it means that they previously had insurance coverage but it was terminated or canceled for some reason. In order to reinstate the coverage, they need to fill out a new SGLV 8286 form. This form is used to elect or make changes to their Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) coverage, including restoring it after it has been terminated.
