If a Utah National Guard service member dies in the line of duty while serving on state active duty, their beneficiaries receive a $100,000 death gratuity payment within 72 hours of the death.
Contact the Utah National Guard, which pays the gratuity to the service member’s named beneficiaries. The Utah Department of Veterans and Military Affairs can help at 801-326-2372.
The service member’s state active duty orders, the death certificate, the line of duty determination, and proof that you are a named beneficiary.
