The Survivor Benefit Plan is designed to provide survivors with a portion of the member's retired pay after death.

Survivor Benefit Plan functions as an annuity that pays a portion of the member’s retired pay to a designated survivor after the member dies. This provides ongoing financial support to spouses or eligible dependents when the member is no longer alive. The benefit begins after death and is funded by a deduction from the member’s retired pay (the SBP premium). It is not restricted to combat deaths, nor tied to any condition stated in the other options. So the statement is true.
