Virginia pays a $20,000 death benefit to the beneficiaries of a state employee who was a reserve component member, was ordered to federal active duty, and was killed in action in armed conflict.
Contact the human resources office of the agency the service member worked for, and the Virginia Department of Human Resource Management, to file for the death benefit.
The federal active duty orders, casualty documentation or report of casualty, the death certificate, proof of the service member’s state employment, and proof that you are a named beneficiary.
