The spouse of a deceased retired US Navy commander may be eligible for Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) benefits. The SBP provides a portion of the commander's pension to the surviving spouse as an annuity after their death. The amount received depends on the commander's election and the level of coverage chosen under the plan.
For any death pension benefit, it depends on the service member's period of service, and the marital status at the time of death (married or divorced). There are also allowances for dependent children.
Unless otherwise specified, death pension benefits are normally only for survivors of wartime serving Veterans. For modern times, that would mean a member would have to have served at least 24 months of active duty after 9/7/80. There is also an income threshold that must be met (lower, not higher) that is set by law.
