Pre-separation Counseling Briefing
The Pre-separation Counseling briefing is the first step to separating
or retiring from the military. This briefing is mandatory and a
prerequisite to all other transition-related briefings such as TAP.
During this one-hour briefing you will learn about all the benefits and
services available to you when you leave the military. Documentation of
this briefing is accomplished through the completion of the DD Form
2648. If you are a year from separation or two years from retirement,
start the transition process now. The class is every Tuesday, 2:00 pm at
the Airman & Family Readiness Center, Bldg. T-65.
For more information, please contact Debbie Evert of Airman & Family
Readiness Center at 567-3920 or at debbie.evert.ctr@schriever.af.
Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP)
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,
Bldg T-65 at 567-4037/3920.
