Jacqueline Peters, widow of a retired Army officer, only recently grasped how "ludicrous" the law has become that limits Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) payments to surviving spouses of military members who either die in retirement from service-related ailments or die while on active duty. These survivors qualify for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) from the Department of Veterans Affairs, which pays a basic benefit of $1154 a month. But if they also are covered by military SPB, then the SBP must be reduced by an amount equal to DIC. Widows then are refunded the premiums their husbands had paid for the portion of SBP being offset.

With recent advances in assistive reproduction technology4 and the high rate of injury and death among military servicemembers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan,5 the military is ripe for issues surrounding the posthumous conce...
