CRS Report: Survivor Benefits for Families of Civilian Federal Employees and Retirees (PDF)
Congressional Research Service [CRS] 
Apr. 21, 2008
6 pages. "Federal employees with permanent appointments are eligible for retirement and disability benefits under either the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS).... Both FERS and CSRS provide survivor benefits for spouses and dependent children of employees and retirees.... The federal government pays compensation to dependent survivors of federal civilian employees who are killed while performing their duties; however, a survivor eligible for both an annuity under CSRS or FERS and for survivor compensation cannot receive both." [Report RS21029, updated Apr. 17, 2008]
