This guide can help you prepare but should not be taken as legal advice. FINANCIAL PREPARATIONS Get your finances ready for life in deployment. Your mission is paramount when you re deployed. It s understandable to feel disconnected from your life at home, including your financial life. But there are steps you can take before you leave that can help make your finances easier and more flexible to manage, increasing your confidence and helping you focus on your mission. Checking/Savings Consider applying for a USAA Bank checking or savings account. USAA Bank is built for military lifestyles and offers special benefits: No monthly service fees.

6 6 BEFORE YOU LEAVE FINANCIAL PREPARATIONS Credit Cards With Deployment Benefits Look for credit cards that provide special deployment benefits, such as a rebate of finance charges accrued during a military campaign and an interest rate reduction beyond those required by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). SCRA SCRA provides protections for individuals entering or called to active duty. It is intended to help ease the transition from civilian life to serving on military duty so that servicemembers can devote their full attention to duty. SCRA protections include a reduced interest rate on debt incurred before beginning active duty including, but not limited to, outstanding credit card debt, mortgage loans, auto loans, personal loans and home equity lines of credit/loans. Your JAG can help clarify whether your personal circumstances are covered. USAA Bank goes above and beyond the SCRA benefits required by law, giving you an APR of 4% lower than the SCRA requirements on preexisting USAA Bank credit card and loan debt plus the chance to receive a 100% rebate of credit card finance charges if you serve in a select, qualified military campaign. 4 Mortgage loans obtained from USAA Bank may not qualify for the special 4% rate. 5 USAA Bank has a special team that processes all of your SCRA interest rate adjustments. Be sure to send a copy of your orders, member number and/or account number. ONLINE FAX MAIL USAA FINANCIAL CENTER Reducing Car-Related Expenses We can help you reduce your expenses related to insurance while you re deployed.

The SCRA rate will apply only to balances made before commencement of active duty and will last until the end of your active duty period. We will notify you 45 days in advance before the SCRA rate ends. Thereafter, the regular variable APR will apply. For all other benefits, we must receive notice within 90 days after the start of deployment or PCS, or within six months after completion of a military campaign. We reserve the right to require documentation.

9 BEFORE YOU LEAVE INSURANCE PREPARATIONS 9 Before You Leave INSURANCE PREPARATIONS Coverage and recommendations for your life, home and automobile. Discuss insurance thoroughly as a family, and if need be, seek advice from unit legal/family readiness counselors and licensed insurance professionals. From your family to your home, car and more, we can help you make sure you have the appropriate amount of coverage to protect what s important to you. Life Insurance Chances are you are insured for up to $400,000 with Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI). You may also have $100,000 in life insurance coverage for your spouse and $10,000 per child. Plus, your family is eligible for a monthly benefit paid to your spouse and minor children by the Veterans Administration if you die while on active duty. This benefit is called Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC). Depending on your individual circumstances, consider additional life insurance coverage because: SGLI alone may not be enough. SGLI ends when you leave the military, and exchanging it for VGLI (Veterans Group Life Insurance) can be expensive. VGLI is not an option for spouses. Additional coverage can lock in your future insurability after you leave the military, without requiring another medical exam. 9 The cost of life insurance increases with each passing year. Not only can it be expensive after leaving the military it may not even be possible to get if you have significant mental or physical health changes. By adding additional life insurance now, you can guarantee having it in the future. By putting additional coverage in place now, you can increase it after your service ends without getting another medical exam. Review your needs. If uncertain, check with an insurance professional. Special Benefits of USAA Life Insurance Life insurance available from us is designed to meet the unique needs of military members and their families, offering: Coverage in the event of death caused by war. 10 The appropriate coverage you need for life insurance protection. Augmenting features built around the military benefits you already have, such as Servicemembers Group Life Insurance Traumatic Injury Protection (TSGLI), which provides a lump sum payment for military personnel severely injured in the line of duty (this one-time benefit ranges from $25,000 to $100,000). 11 Specifically, we offer military life insurance. Sign up while you re on active duty, and it provides competitive coverage in addition to SGLI that stays in place after you leave the military. It also includes a $25,000 severe injury benefit. And once in place, generally you can increase coverage when you leave the military with no medical questions asked. 12 To help ensure you re covered before you deploy, we ll typically expedite your application to be processed. 9 Military Future Insurability - Increases in coverage require payment of additional premium. Availability of increased life insurance coverage depends on characterization of military separation. Form ICC and LBR97953ST (may vary by state); NY form NBR60469NY War exclusions apply to coverage provided under accidental death benefit riders and policies. 11 Military Severe Injury Benefit is available to active duty in the Armed Forces and Armed Forces Reserve of the United States of America. Provides $25,000 to help with the expenses in the event of certain injuries while performing military duties to include dismemberment, loss of limb function, such as paralysis, loss of vision, and severe burns as long as base policy is effective. Rider form LBR67140ST (may vary by state); NY Form NBR67175NY Included at no additional cost. 12 Increases in coverage more than two times the base policy face amount up to the current maximum Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI) amount depends on your health and is subject to underwriting approval.

11 BEFORE YOU LEAVE INSURANCE PREPARATIONS 11 Home and Personal Property Coverage Before you leave, it s important to review your property insurance coverages. You may need to add or change coverage depending on your situation. Property insurance provides coverage for damage to your home and personal property. Some insurers also provide identity theft coverage and liability coverage if someone is injured on your property or if you accidentally damage someone else s property. Insurance features you may want in place: Renters insurance: Worldwide coverage for your personal belongings 13 even your uniforms and selfpurchased military gear. 14 Coverage that moves with you no matter where you are in the world. Homeowners insurance: Coverage for your home (structure) and personal items that includes replacement cost coverage. Protection for high-value items: Valuable personal property insurance provides coverage for high-value items, such as jewelry, silverware, cameras, laptops and fine art. Select providers whose policies have no depreciation or deductible that applies to a loss. Insuring Your Vehicle First and foremost, be sure your vehicle is properly insured, particularly if it will be taken care of by someone not on your policy. You may think there isn t a reason to make any automobile arrangements, but typically that s not the case. See if your provider offers: Roadside assistance Consider a roadside emergency service to protect your spouse or family members while you re away. Good companies have free emergency dispatch that includes towing and labor coverage. This service should cover many typical roadside emergencies, such as fixing a flat tire or jump-starting your car. Online and mobile claims Service that helps you track your claim status quickly and easily. USAA Auto Insurance has features designed with military members in mind, based on over 90 years of commitment and shared military values. Our members receive special savings and exceptional customer service that s tailor-made for those who have served in the military: Save up to 15% when you garage your vehicle on base. Save up to 10% when you continue the USAA auto coverage tradition that your parents started. 15 Mobile access designed for military lifestyles.

You can help ease the financial stress caused by unexpected car repairs that aren t covered under warranty by purchasing Extended Vehicle Protection from USAA. 17 Reduced premiums If you won t be driving your car or will be putting it in storage during your deployment, see if your provider offers reduced premiums or reduced coverage, such as comprehensive only. 13 Availability of renters insurance to residents of another country is limited to qualified members. 14 For loss due to a covered peril of military uniforms or equipment owned by you and when the loss occurs while you are on active or reserve duty, no deductible will be applied. 14 This is a reduction in your premium for Comprehensive coverage, except in CA, where it also applies to your premium for Collision coverage.

15 COMING HOME 15 Coming Home YOUR HOMECOMING IS A TIME OF CELEBRATION, BUT IT CAN ALSO BE STRESSFUL Give yourself, family and friends time to return to normal routines. Visit with your family, renew old friendships and take things as they come. If you re married or coming home to children, remember that it takes time for all of you to get used to one another again. The best advice psychologists and family advisors can give you is to be patient; give yourself and your partner time to get back into the rhythm of being a family again. Once the euphoria subsides, it s time to sit down with your family and take stock of your affairs. Update Your Personal Information If you made changes to your financial accounts and policies, call to change them back to their original status. Cancel unneeded powers of attorney. Use Extra Income Wisely Additional income you receive, such as hazard pay or a reenlistment bonus, presents an opportunity to strengthen your finances. Consider paying down debt, starting or adding to an emergency fund, contributing to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), or other smart financial moves. See How You re Doing Financially Your Financial Readiness Score can help you see where you stand based on your goals and give you a personalized plan to take control. Visit usaa.com/myfinancialscore. Investments Once you return and you ve had a chance to review your finances, it s time to start thinking about your future. Talk to a USAA representative about your personal financial situation and goals, or visit usaa.com/goals to start a plan. Getting a Car If you didn t have a car when you deployed, you may want to buy one when you return. USAA can help save you time and money on the car you want through the USAA Car Buying Service, and we can offer a great rate on an auto loan through USAA Bank. You can even start the loan process while still deployed and have your vehicle ready and waiting when you get home. Avoiding Costly Accidents If you re returning from service, pay special attention to how much your driving habits have changed and whether they put you at increased risk for accidents back home. If so, you re not alone. Numerous studies* have found: Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are unique because their combat experiences were frequently defined by dangers on the road, particularly from roadside bombs. 23% of those who returned said they have driven through stop signs. 20% were anxious during usual driving. 50% were anxious when other cars approached quickly. Watch your driving habits and help prevent out-of-pocket and increased premium costs due to auto accidents. What s Next?
