The TSGLI Program became effective on December 1, 2005.  The program was designed to provide severely injured service members who suffer certain losses as a direct result of a traumatic injury with short-term monetary assistance.  The VA’s Insurance Service undertook a comprehensive review of the TSGLI program to ascertain whether additional injuries/losses  should be covered, whether the program was operating effectively, and  whether other improvements could be made.

Regulations published in the Federal Register November 26, 2008 implemented the changed recommended in the Year One Review.

The link below provides access to the final recommendations from this Year-One Review of the TSGLI Program, as well as detailed information on the methodologies and analyses used in the review.
