Interactive Online Survivor Benefits Reports (OSBR)

The interactive OSBR is a financial planning tool, available to eligible surviving spouses, adult children, and guardians of dependent children of service members who died while on active duty on or after September 11, 2001. The interactive OSBR projects anticipated “milestone” events, such as children turning 18 and aging out of dependency. In addition, the interactive OSBR includes updated benefit amounts such as annual cost-of-living-increases, financial impacts of legislative changes, and provides benefit amount projections under "What If" scenarios, (i.e., what is the effect of remarriage, what is the effect on my Social Security Benefits if I start or stop working). The interactive OSBR provides survivors estimated current and projected income streams from federal sources and uses real time data in today's dollars. A myAuth account must be created by the survivor and linked to their case by the Family Assistance Support Team to access the interactive OSBR.
