Keep your account status updated
The Defense
Accounting and Finance Service (DFAS) reminds all military retirees and
annuitants that reviewing their retirement or annuitant pay account status is
the best way to ensure all information is up-to-date.
DFAS relies
on current personal information to provide the highest level of customer
service. It is imperative that retirees notify the agency as soon as possible
about any change in marital or family status, beneficiaries, mailing address
and bank account information. This ensures that the individual’s retirement pay
is processed correctly and on time. If beneficiary information needs to be
updated, customers can access the new Designation of Beneficiary form online at
http://www.dfas.mil/retiredpay/beneficiarycard.html.
Changes to much of a retiree’s pay account can be made via myPay or by
calling the Retired/Annuitant Pay Customer Service Center at
1-800-321-1080. Retirees may also send
an e-mail via myPay
or by regular mail to: DFAS
U. S. Military
Retirement Pay P. O. Box 7130 London, KY 40742-7130. Using myPay is
the most convenient and timely way to self-service a retiree’s account.
Any account
changes must be completed and submitted by the end of November 2006 in order to
be effective for the end-of-year processing (1099R’s, RAS’s,
etc.). This includes both retired and annuitant pay accounts.
