Category: News and Politics Special Notice This information is coming from Veterans Benefits Administration:
VA to Provide Payments to Eligible Surviving Spouses
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced immediate actions to quickly identify and pay surviving spouses who are eligible to receive the deceased veteran's VA compensation or pension benefit for the month of the veteran's death.
This benefit is only payable to surviving spouses of veterans who were receiving VA compensation or pension benefits at the time of their death.
Because VA does not always know if a veteran is survived by a spouse, some surviving spouses have not received the month-of-death benefit to which they are entitled.
If you are a surviving spouse of a veteran who was receiving VA benefits at the time of death and believe you may be eligible for the month-of-death benefit, please go to www.va.gov and provide theinformation requested. VA will determine your eligibility. You may also call 1-800-749-8387 to talkwith someone at the Survivors Call Center.
If you are a surviving spouses, have one in your family or know of someone; please forward this information to them. The bill has been passed and the money is there.
