Survivor & Family Planning

Plan Ahead!

Veterans should prepare a Family and Survivor Protection Plan for their dependents. Below are a few convenient documents you the sponsor/veteran can use to annotate information, contacts, account numbers, locations where items are stored, and more to assist your survivors in dealing with your affairs when you are no longer here to do it. Also you will find benefits information that help explain things. Take a look and the documents, download if needed, fill them out and keep them safe and updated.  Store them somewhere where your family members know since you unfortunately won't be here to tell them.
