Dear Ms. Swartz,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched online and located the following sources which discuss survivor pensions for survivors and dependents of World War I casualties.

• https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/ssb/v5n11/
• https://va.org/survivor-benefits/
• https://www.va.gov/survivors/faqs.asp#FAQ5
• https://www.benefits.gov/benefit/285

We hope this is helpful.
