When declining SGLI coverage, what is the correct FID to be submitted to DFAS Cleveland?

When declining Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) coverage, the correct Form Identification (FID) to be submitted to DFAS Cleveland is the DB04. This form is specifically designated for the purpose of declining SGLI coverage, ensuring that all necessary information is accurately relayed to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service.

Selecting the DB04 is important because it aligns with the official procedures established by military finance. The completion and submission of this specific form facilitate the proper processing of the declination, ensuring that the servicemember's choice is documented in the system, and they are relieved from any associated premiums for the coverage they have chosen not to opt into.

In contrast, the other FIDs listed—DB05, DB06, and DA03—serve different purposes and are not appropriate for the action of declining SGLI coverage. Each form is tailored for specific financial transactions or changes within military financial services, making it essential to use the correct form to prevent any complications or misunderstandings regarding the servicemember’s insurance status.
