Surviving family members of armed services personnel can file for benefits at SSA or the Veterans Administration (VA) to be considered for benefits at either agency. If applicants go to the VA first, they complete form SSA-24, the Application for Survivor's Benefits. The VA then forwards form SSA-24 to SSA for processing. If applicants previously filed for benefits at SSA, the agency disregards this form. The respondents are survivors of deceased armed services personnel who are applying for benefits at the VA.
The latest form for Application for Survivor's Benefits expires 2021-01-31 and can be found here.
