LATEST NEWS

DFAS will begin processing Roth TSP elections for its civilian and military customers using a phased approach beginning in June and continuing through October 2012.

As a new choice for retirement investment planning, the Roth TSP, will give civilian employees and military service members the option to contribute after-tax wages into TSP for the first time. Both the contributions and the earnings will be tax free when withdrawn, as long as IRS requirements are met.

Beware – scam emails - that appear to be sent by DFAS employees!

There are emails being sent to individuals, including military members, military retirees, and civilian employees, which appear to be sent by a DFAS employee.  Although the email appears to come from a DFAS employee and displays a dot mil address it is actually from a non-government email account.  This is an example of what's called "spoofing."

The emails indicate that individuals who are receiving disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) may be able to obtain additional funds from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  These emails are not issued by DFAS and will likely result in a financial loss if you comply with the suggestions in the email.  Bottom line – do not send your personal information or copies of your tax returns and 1099s to the individual listed in the email. 

The email indicates that individuals receiving VA disability compensation can receive additional funds from the IRS.  The email states that such funds can be obtained by sending copies of your VA award letter, your income tax returns, your 1099-Rs, your RAS statements, and a copy of your DD 214, to a so-called retired Colonel at an address in Florida.  Do NOT follow the suggestions in the email because you will be providing a significant amount of your personal information to a complete stranger, which could result in a financial loss to you. 

The rules have changed. Imminent Danger Pay is now figured on a prorated basis. If you are or will be serving in an IDP designated area, check out the story from American Forces Information Service. And if you need information on IDP, we've got you covered on our Hostile Fire/Imminent Danger page. 

The 2012 Military Pay Table is now available. And be sure to check our Military Members section for 2012 active duty and reserve pay days. 

2011 tax statement schedule: The dates your W2 or 1099R will be available on myPay or put into the mail are now available.
