USAA eligibility flows to spouses and children, not parents or in-laws
It is my understanding that USAA eligibility flows "downstream" – which means you need to be a child or spouse of an established member to get a USAA policy. Therefore parents, or in your case in-laws, of USAA members are likely not eligible to get their own policy. This applies to all insurance types (auto, home, etc.) and all branches of service (Marines, Navy, etc.) as well.
Still, we would recommend contacting USAA to double check. And, if you need help comparing rates from other carriers, The Zebra makes it easy. Good luck!
