PERSONAL AFFAIRS & SURVIVING SPOUSES
Personal Affairs and Surviving Spouses go hand in hand. We encourage all our members to prepare for the inevitable and prepare their families. Surviving Spouses have experienced the loss of a loved one. As an organization, we work to ensure our members, including surviving spouses, receive the benefits they were promised.
Surviving Spouses of military officers are eligible to join MOAA or NWFMOA as full members of the organization and participate in all activities and events to share in our “Camaraderie with a Purpose!” Many chapters offer full chapter membership to spouses of eligible officers as well.
Starting in 2026, Surviving Spouses will be given Life Membership status in the NWFMOA and will not pay dues.
SURVIVING SPOUSES
Surviving Spouses of Military Officers meeting the eligibility requirements of MOAA can join MOAA as a “Member in Full Standing” of the Organization. Go to the MOAA website to Join.
