From Our Partners: Join Us for the Defense Department’s Survivor Symposium on June 12, 2026

The Survivor Symposium series underscores the Defense Department’s commitment to providing support for survivors of active-duty deaths. This virtual event focuses on educating surviving family members of service members who died while on active duty about their survivor benefits, entitlements and available resources — as well as addressing any questions or concerns they may have.
The next symposium will be June 12, 2026 from noon to 3 p.m. EDT. During the June event, experts will:

• Updates from the DOW, Defense Finance Accounting Service and Department of Veterans Affairs
• Tax planning considerations for military survivors
• Details about the College Success Roadmap Series, including financial, scholarship and benefit resources for the 2026-2027 academic year
