Navy Gold Star Program
Navy Gold Star is the Navys official program for providing long-term support to surviving families of Sailors who pass while on Active Duty. Navy Gold Star services provide support to surviving Family member of Sailors who died on Active Duty, no matter the cause of death. Survivors will remain part of the Navy Family and are welcome at Fleet and Family Support Centers (FFSC) to receive authorized assistance for as long as they desire. We do not discriminate between service affiliations, our goal is to help any Survivor who requests assistance. This may be as easy as connecting them their own services Survivor Assistance Program, giving them references or becoming their case manager.
