Highlights
Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) legislation enacted on September 21, 1972, provides for payment of annuities to survivors of retired military personnel and to survivors of personnel who die while serving on active duty and who were eligible for retirement. The amended law requires SBP annuities to be reduced, in certain instances, by the amount of Social Security benefits which are attributable to the deceased member's military service.
