Nebraska Governor Signs First-in-Nation Order Coordinating Survivor Benefits
Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has signed an executive order directing the state to coordinate help for residents claiming survivor benefits paid through separate federal systems — the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) — so families are not forced to navigate each agency on their own after a death.
The governor's office said Nebraska is the first state in the nation to create such a cross-system survivor-benefits coordination mechanism by executive order. Pillen also sent letters to the governors of 39 other states describing Nebraska's approach.
Adams and Hardin attended the signing. The state said dedicated staff will help survivors identify the benefits they may claim and the documents required.
