Factors to Consider When Making the Survivor Benefit Plan Decision

Thursday, April 18th from 6:00-7:00 PM ET via Zoom

The Department of Defense (DoD) Survivor Benefit Plan is a very misunderstood program within DoD. As members approach retirement they routinely ask financial counselors “is SBP a good idea?” The reality is there is no “One Shoe Fits All” answer, and it can be a complicated question to navigate. Whether or not SBP is a good decision depends on many factors including the value of the benefit, personal assets, income needs and more.

This session will explore the questions service members need to ask themselves to understand their unique financial situation and determine if SBP is a good choice for them individually. We will also evaluate tools and calculators that can provide them unbiased information to help them feel confident with their decision and determine the pros and cons of the SBP decision as it applies to them.
