Dd Form 2656 10 PDF Details

The DD Form 2656-10, known as the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) Former Spouse Request for Deemed Election, is a critical document for former spouses of military service members, enabling them to request SBP coverage following a divorce. This form serves as a mechanism to ensure that former spouses can secure SBP or Reserve Component (RC) SBP coverage as part of their divorce proceedings, pursuant to a court order or a written agreement ratified by the court.

Serving both to protect the interests of former spouses and to facilitate the administration of SBP benefits, the DD Form 2656-10 embodies a vital intersection of military service benefits and family law. Its proper completion and timely submission are crucial for those seeking to navigate the complexities of post-divorce financial planning and security.
