The Director’s Corner by Karl H.
Bernhardt
“Welcome to
the 6th issue of the DFAS Retired Pay Newsletter.
By now,
approximately 175,000 annuitants should have seen an increase in their monthly payment
deposited on May 1, 2006. This increase is due to the incremental phasing-out
of the Social Security Offset (SSO) mandated by the new law commonly referred
to as the “Elimination of Social Security Offset”. More information is found in the Annuitants
to See SBP Increases story in this issue.
Also
included in this issue are stories on the new premium rates for the TRICARE
Retiree Dental Program (TRDP), using myPay,
and the International Direct Deposit (IDD) program.”
