Spouse and Dependents VA Benefits
VA Benefits for Veterans’ Spouses, Dependents, and Survivors
Family members and dependents of service members and Veterans may be eligible for VA benefits. These benefits may be used to advance in a career, get an education, or provide supplementary income. Surviving spouses may benefit from VA-guaranteed home loans, too.

Filling out the various forms can be challenging, especially following a death, for a spouse. VFW 7539 can provide guidance in completing these forms and seeking survivor benefits (through an authorized claims specialist). If you are outside of our area please contact your local VFW Post and ask for their Service Officer.
In any case make sure that a copy of your DD214 is readily available to attain any benefits, inclusive of a casket flag. If you have lost or misplaced your DD214 go to either of these sites.
