The SBP was developed to meet the needs of the family for continuous
income protection following a member's death. SBP is a non-profit
annuity program which is administered by the government. Coverage is
free while the member remains on active duty. After retirement, monthly
premiums are held in the Military Retirement System Trust Fund and
benefits are paid to eligible survivors from that fund. As a result, the
retiree has the assurance of a well-managed program without having to
pay administrative expenses. Prior to retiring, you will have an
opportunity to enroll in the SBP. If you have not heard from the SBP
Counselor for a briefing no later than 120 days prior to your retirement
or have any questions about the program, please call your SBP Counselor,
Mr. Kevin Mitchell, located in the Airman and Family Readiness Center,
