USAA — Virginia's Military Community Priority
Virginia's extraordinary military concentration — Naval Station Norfolk, Pentagon, JBLM proximity, Langley AFB, Fort Eustis, VMI — creates one of America's highest concentrations of USAA eligibility. USAA eligibility is permanent for honorably discharged veterans and their immediate families. If you or any family member served, check USAA first.

Virginia Retirement System (VRS) Group Insurance
Virginia state employees, university faculty, and public school teachers who retire through the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) may have access to group insurance arrangements. Check with VRS and your former employer's HR office for current options.
