Survivor
Benefits
The primary survivor benefit applicable to survivors of retirees (and,
in some situations, active duty members) is the Uniformed Services Survivor
Benefit Plan (SBP). The Reserves have a related plan called the Reserve
Component Survivor Benefit Plan (RC-SBP). These are voluntary programs
to ensure survivors continue to receive income throughout their lifetimes.

of Veterans Affairs under special circumstances. For more information
