I may completely crazy about this but I thought that the spouses of military veterans were entitled to their retirement even after said veteran died. I'm not talking about in times of war or even if the death occurred while he (or she) was still serving. I thought this was one of the benefits that was offered to our troops. I know it's not true now. Once my Dad died, his retirement stopped, in fact they went back for the month they had paid and pro rated the month to how many days he had lived in it and my Mom had to return some of the money for that month.
Am I crazy? Do I remember it rightly? Or is it just something I imagined? Someone else told me I was right and that the current President put an end to this benefit. While that wouldn't surprise me, it would just add one more reason that I cannot stand him.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. If only for my peace of mind.

That doesn't sound right. Your mom should contact the VA.
No, it's right. That's how it works...now, but I'm sure it was different.
