Kentucky pays a lump sum of $80,000 to the beneficiaries of a Kentucky resident reserve component service member who dies in the line of duty while serving on federal active duty.
Contact the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs and the service member’s reserve component to file for the death benefit.
The service member’s federal active duty orders, the death certificate or DD1300 report of casualty, a line of duty determination, and proof that you are a named beneficiary.
