For spouse's, surviving spouse's, and parent's benefits, proof of support must generally be furnished within 2 years after the point in time at which the support requirement is met.

Proof of support must be filed within 2 years of the date of the NH's death.

Proof of support must be filed within 2 years of the month in which the NH becomes entitled to an RIB or DIB, or (where the support requirement is to be met as of the beginning of a period of disability) within 2 years of the month the NH filed an effective application for the period of disability.

Good cause for failure to file proof of support timely will be deemed to be met (see GN 02608.104).
