When service ends, so does SGLI. Tower Hill helps Fort Cavazos military families and veterans transition to personal life insurance that's portable, affordable, and built to last.
Tower Hill advisors understand the military lifecycle — SGLI, VGLI, VA coverage, and how to build a personal policy that fills the gaps when service ends.
Our carrier network's instant underwriting means most Killeen applicants — including veterans — get a policy decision the same day. Lock in your rate before your health changes.
For most healthy veterans, private term insurance through Tower Hill costs significantly less than VGLI — with the same or higher coverage. We'll show you both options side by side.
From active duty to veteran status, these coverage types protect Killeen military families at every stage.
Protect your home near Fort Cavazos. A term policy matched to your mortgage ensures your family keeps the house if something happens — regardless of your VA benefits.
Learn MoreIf disability keeps you from your civilian career, income protection replaces up to 60% of your paycheck — keeping your family stable through recovery.
Learn MoreTerm life with living benefits covers income replacement, childcare, education benefits beyond GI Bill, and long-term financial goals for Killeen military families.
Learn MoreSGLI (Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance) ends 120 days after you separate from service. You can convert to VGLI, but rates increase significantly with age. Getting a personal term policy through Tower Hill while you're still young and healthy locks in much lower rates that VGLI typically can't match.
Many veterans with service-connected conditions still qualify for standard or preferred life insurance rates. The key is working with advisors who understand military medical history. Tower Hill's team will evaluate your specific health profile and find the best available option.
A solid starting point is your mortgage balance plus 10× annual income. For a Killeen family with a $180,000 home and $60,000 household income, that's roughly $780,000. SGLI provides $500,000 — but that ends when service does. A personal policy bridges and extends that protection.

Local context. Real coverage guidance.
Killeen is defined by Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood) — the largest active-duty armored military base in the United States, home to over 40,000 soldiers and the anchor of a metro-area economy that depends heavily on military families. Life insurance in Killeen exists at the intersection of military benefit complexity and civilian financial planning. Active-duty soldiers carry SGLI at up to $500,000, but enlisted personnel with families often need additional coverage to fully replace their total compensation package — including BAH and BAS allowances that aren't captured in base pay calculations. Veterans separating from Fort Cavazos face a 120-day VGLI conversion window; missing it means losing guaranteed insurability at group rates. Tower Hill helps transitioning soldiers navigate this window and convert to permanent civilian coverage without gaps. Killeen's civilian population — government contractors, healthcare workers, retail and service employees who support the military community — often lack the benefit awareness that military families develop through service education programs. For them, individual life insurance is even more critical as the only layer of protection for their families. Bell County's growth continues, with Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, and Nolanville absorbing overflow residential demand.
