What is the death benefit if killed in action?

It depends on the service members situation. If he has SGLI the insurance is paid at whatever the servicemember signed up for. If he is married and/or has children there are several benefit programs available and a Casualty Assistance Officer will be assigned to help the survivng widow and children through the entire process. If you are a benefit Survivor and have not been contacted go to your local recruiters office and have them get you the info you need to get started.
