VA Activates Surviving Spouse Web Site

The Department of Veterans Affairs has activated a new web site dedicated to the surviving spouses of service members who died on active duty and surviving spouses of veterans who died after serving their country. The site, at http://www.vba.va.gov/survivors, has links not only to VA pages describing survivor benefits but also to other government sites that may offer information and assistance. It also contains a link to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). For questions more specific than those covered on the FAQ link, the site has instructions for contacting the VA directly.
