How much do killed US Soldiers' families get paid?

If a soldier dies in Iraq, how much compensation do their families receive? I googled this - but only found information on the US not paying dead Iraqi's families. Thanks DUers!
I am trying to find this information out for my grandma. She worked in the department of the military that processed these claims back during WWII - and she thinks at that time families received $35,000. That sounds like a lot given that time, I just wanted to find out how much they make today.
