    Needs and Uses: 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.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; individuals or 
households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
