Compute the 2-year filing period, beginning with the day following the earliest of
the four dates listed below, provided we receive a report of death of the service
member, listed by the Armed Forces as “missing” for some time before such earliest
date and after October 16, 1940. Use one of the following dates to compute the 2-year
filing period:
-
•
the date the service department made a finding of presumptive death;
-
•
the date the service department received a report or made a finding of actual death;
-
•
the date a proper court makes a finding of death; or
-
•
six months after SSCRA expires.
