The DD Form 2656-7 is used to establish the Survivor Benefit Plan after the passing of an active, reserve, or retired military service member. This checklist is designed for use by the spouse (widow or widower), eligible former spouse, or child of a deceased military member/retiree.

The Survivor Benefit Plan is a Department of Defense sponsored and subsidized program that provides up to 55 percent of a service member's retired pay to an eligible beneficiary upon the death of the member.

This form is used to change a Survivor Benefit Plan election. A retired member may change an election under certain circumstances when specific conditions are met. Section III of this form describes these conditions and instructs you what additional sections of the form to complete.
