The Survivor Benefit Plan Decision

One of the key decisions you will have to make during your military retirement process is about the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP). This plan provides a financial benefit to your surviving spouse in the event of your death. But with so much information and options available, it can be difficult to know what’s best for you and your family.

At US VetWealth, our goal is to help military retirees like you make informed and confident decisions. In this blog post, we’ll break down the SBP, explain how it works, and provide you with a simple decision chart to help you determine what is best for you and your family.

How the SBP Works

The SBP is a government-sponsored plan that provides a monthly benefit to your surviving spouse in the event of your death. The benefit is a percentage of your military pension, and the cost is deducted from your pension each month. It’s important to understand that there is only a benefit if there is a survivor, so it’s important to carefully consider the options and make a decision that’s right for you and your family.

The SBP Decision Chart: Making an Informed Choice

When it comes to the SBP, the decision chart is a tool that can help you understand the potential outcomes and make an informed decision. The chart takes into account your health, financial situation, and desired outcomes, and provides a simple visual representation of the options available to you.

As a high-income earning military retiree, there may be better alternative options available to you that provide a higher return on investment. However, it’s important to understand that whether or not you qualify for these options will depend on your individual situation, including your health and financial situation.

Individual Decisions for the SBP

It’s important to remember that the decision you make about the SBP should be an individual one, and should not be based on the advice of friends or Facebook groups. The key is to take the time to sit down with your spouse, assess your options, and make a decision that’s right for you.
