How do I apply for survivor benefits?

The first step to apply for survivor benefits in Hawaii is to contact your county Veteran Service Office (VSO). Each VSO has officers that are trained to help you navigate the process. They can provide you with information on the types of benefits available and how to properly complete an application. The application for survivor benefits should include the veteran’s death certificate, proof of service, your marriage certificate (if applicable) and a completed application form. The most important thing to remember is that you must provide all of the required information, or your application may be denied. Once your application has been approved, you will be required to attend a meeting with a VSO. The meeting is designed to explain the benefits you are entitled to receive and the process for filing for those benefits. After all of the paperwork has been completed, you will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to collect your benefits. If you have any questions, you can call the Hawaii Veterans Service Office at 1-808-586-8388. They can provide more information about the application process and help you to get the benefits that you are entitled to receive.
