Which item would appear as a deduction from payroll for life insurance?

• A. Travel indebtedness
• B. Leave balance
• C. Final pay
• D. SGLI

Answer: (D)

Life insurance deductions on payroll come from the SGLI premium. SGLI, or Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance, is automatically withheld from a service member’s pay to fund life insurance coverage. That deduction appears on the pay statement as the SGLI item. The other options aren’t life insurance deductions: travel indebtedness is a travel-related debt recovered from pay, leave balance is unused leave, and final pay is a separation payout, not a life insurance deduction. So the SGLI deduction is the correct item.
