Over the years, our membership has expanded to include Federal employees, Reservists, National Guard, military academy officer candidates, honorably discharged Veterans and others. Benefit plans have also expanded, including Tricare Supplement options. For more than six decades USBA has remained committed to excellence in all things, notably: compassionate & timely handling of claims, live-person phone staff, consistently lauded for personalized care over the lifetime of your membership, a 28-year relationship with New York Life Insurance Company, whose own focus on excellence and viability aligns well with ours. When the late Maj Gen Bill Dietrich, USAF (Ret), hired me in ’82, it was evident this not-for-profit Association was a notch above other companies – by the high regard in which it held its members and its mission, the high service standards it set – and met. These are our guiding principles still today. I’m proud of our dedicated staff and honored to lead this Association forward. Sincerely, Connie R. Markovich, FLMI, ACS President / CEO Our History USBA was founded in 1959 to meet the needs of Active Duty military personnel, who at that time had difficulty finding adequate life insurance coverage that would cover combat-related deaths. USBA was one of the first companies to do away with the “war clause” in all of its coverages. Our Mission USBA is a not-for-profit association that provides affordable group life insurance, health insurance supplements, and other products and services to military personnel, Federal employees, National Guard and Reserve members, Veterans and their families with the highest ethical standards of conduct and service.

She is a licensed life and health insurance agent and has earned various certifications from the Life Office Management Association (LOMA).
