Survivor Series
Please join us on the last Wednesday of every month between 1PM and 2PM EST for our Survivor Series
June Edition- Survivor Assistance Memorial Support (SAMS) (formerly Decedent Affairs)
Our Survivors Assistance and Memorial Support (SAMS) Program provides personalized, supportive services to families, caregivers, and survivors at the end of a Veteran's life, and ensures Veterans without identified family receive dignified burials to honor their service.
After a Veteran dies while receiving VA care (in a VA facility or while on VA authorized care at a non-VA facility) the SAMS Specialist contacts the legal next-of-kin within 24 hours to facilitate administrative tasks.
