There are two things.First, there is a thing called a “Survivor Pension”. You can read about on the VA website but I’ll recopy their page on the matter here.Survivors PensionSurvivors PensionThe Survivors Pension benefit, which may also be referred to as Death Pension, is a tax-free monetary benefit payable to a low-income, un-remarried surviving spouse and/or unmarried child(ren) of a deceased Veteran with wartime service.EligibilityThe deceased Veteran must have met the following service requirements:For service on or before September 7, 1980, the Veteran must have served at least 90 days of active military service, with at least one day during a war time period.If he or she entered active duty after September 7, 1980, generally he or she must have served at least 24 months or the full period for which called or ordered to active duty with at least one day during a war time period.Was discharged from service under other than dishonorable conditions.Survivors Pension is also based on your yearly family income, which must be less than the amount set by Congress to qualify.While an un-remarried spouse is eligible at any age, a child of a deceased wartime Veteran must be:Under 18, ORUnder age 23 if attending a VA-approved school, ORPermanently incapable of self-support due to a disability before age 18Your yearly family income must be less than the amount set by Congress to qualify for the Survivors Pension benefit.

You may also visit your local regional benefit office and turn in your application for processing. You can locate your local regional benefit office using the VA Facility Locator.Second there is a type of “pension insurance” that a member can elect or purchas called the “Survivor Benefit Plan”Survivor Benefit ProgramThe description of that reads as follows:“The Survivor Benefit Plan is a Department of Defense sponsored and subsidized program that provides up to 55 percent of a service member's retired pay to an eligible beneficiary upon the death of the member. The program provides no-cost automatic coverage to members serving on active duty, and reserve component members who die of a service connected cause while performing inactive duty training. In addition, active duty members can purchase coverage upon retirement and reserve component members can elect coverage when they have 20 years of qualifying service for reserve retired pay.The first plan seems more geared towards low income family members of survivors where the second plan seems more like something that you have to set up at time you retire or for reservists, at the time you become eligible to retire.
