Retirees - Plan Ahead!

Veterans should prepare a Family and Survivor Protection Plan for their dependents. Below are a few convenient guides and checklists you can use to annotate information, contacts, account numbers, locations where items are stored, and more. You will also find benefits information that help explain things. Take a look at 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.
