Find Your Blind Spots

SBP Decision Planning

The survivor decision that becomes permanent at retirement.

The Survivor Benefit Plan election is time-bound and, once your retirement is final, largely irreversible. We help you weigh the five factors a calculator cannot before you decide.

How we work through it

We work through your retirement system, service history, marital and dependent situation, existing coverage, and tax picture together, so the SBP decision fits the rest of your transition instead of standing alone.

What you leave with

You leave with a clear, documented rationale that you and your spouse both understand, before the window closes.
