AER
ASSISTANCE TO WIDOWS OF SOLDIERS AND
PARTNERSHIP WITH ARMED FORCES SERVICES
CORPORATION.
Widows whose
spouses are killed or died while on active
duty are offered free lifetime membership with
Armed
Forces Services Corporation (AFSC).
This will
entitle widows to an array of specialized
services at no cost to them. AFSC has
expertise in the area of government survivor
benefits. AFSC will provide the widow a printout reflecting the survivor benefits
(social security, SBP, and VA or DIC) the
family can expect to receive. AFSC will
also include an explanation of the benefits
and be available to answer the families'
questions about the benefits. Widows will
receive an annual printout reflecting
projected benefit amounts each year as
increased by COLA and notified throughout
their lifetime of any law changes that affect
their survivor benefits. Widows only need to
activate these services by contacting AFSC at
1-888-237-2872. The CAO may
also activate the widow's lifetime support by
contacting AFSC.
