Verification of beneficiaries for Servicemember's Group Life Insurance (SGLI) should be accomplished at all of the following times, EXCEPT?

Verification of beneficiaries for Servicemember's Group Life Insurance (SGLI) is crucial for ensuring that the intended recipients receive benefits in the event of a policyholder's death. Correct answer indicates that verifying beneficiaries directly before separation is not typically required under the routine guidelines.

During activation, it's important to verify beneficiary information to ensure that it is up to date before the servicemember is deployed. After major life events, such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child, beneficiaries should be reviewed to accurately reflect significant changes in the servicemember's personal circumstances. Additionally, conducting an annual verification during the review period ensures that all information remains current and valid.

In contrast, reviewing beneficiaries immediately prior to separation is not standardized practice. While it's good to verify this information at various times throughout a servicemember’s career, separation itself does not mandate a verification unless it coincides with other life events or routine check-ins. Hence, it does not align as a necessary time for beneficiary verification compared to the other listed situations.
