Survivor Outreach Services is an
Army-wide program that provides dedicated and comprehensive support
services to all Family members of Soldiers who die while on Active
Duty, including Regular Army, United States Army National Guard
(ARNG) and Reserves patrons. Survivor Outreach Services Support
Coordinators serve as the main Survivor advocate. They facilitate
support groups, provide life skills education, assist Survivors in
managing applicable life-long benefit transition milestones,
connect Survivors with counseling resources, and represent the
command in contacts with community organizations. Survivor Outreach
Services Financial Counselors help Survivors by assisting with
budget counseling, debt management, education, and higher education
needs. SOS staff members are required to make periodic
communication with Survivors—at a minimum of one contact
annually—to conduct well-being checks and milestone management
reviews or determine the level of support Survivors desire.
Information gathered in these meetings is input into the SOS
application collection instrument by SOS staff members. No
customers have access to the collection instrument. SOS staff
members collect the information from the Survivors and document the
information as a direct contact within the SOS application case
notes. The successful end result of the information collection as a
whole is an organized and up-to-date database of essential
information on Survivors that allows SOS to better provide the
support they deserve.
