Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI) went into effect in 1965 and was for $10,000. I can't find reference, but I believe retirement was at 20 years and based on 50% of BASE pay. Neil had just hit 20 years of service so he would have been eligible but, Mike and Buzz were not at 20 years of service at that point.
Only the Congress could order a pension like that by passing a law. A Presidential order to that effect would in fact be illegal.
NASA can't just decide to get into the life insurance game without congressional approval. Doesn't matter how much budget they have.
