Alabama pays a $100,000 death benefit to the survivors of an Alabama National Guard member killed while serving on state active duty. The benefit also covers a death within three years afterward from causes related to that state active duty. It does not apply to deaths on federal active duty.
Survivors should contact the Alabama National Guard and the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs to file for the death benefit.
The service member’s state active duty orders, the death certificate, a line of duty determination, and proof of your relationship to the service member.
