Abstract
The survivors of former or retired military personnel sometimes do not receive the survivor benefits to which they are entitled by virtue of the decedent’s military service. These system failures most often occur because of a lack of knowledge concerning potential entitlements on the part of survivors and personal representatives. Some method of alerting survivors and personal representatives to potential benefits is advisable.
