Managing Your AOP Beneficiary Designation
It is vital to notify DFAS of any changes in your AOP beneficiary's contact information. Otherwise all correspondence will be sent to the wrong address, further delaying closure of your account.Please make sure that you keep the following information updated for your beneficiary at all times:
- Name
- Relationship
- Address/contact information
You can change your beneficiary or update beneficiary contact information at any time by completing a Designation of Beneficiary Information form (DD 2894) and mailing or faxing it to DFAS Retired and Annuitant Pay.
Designating a sole beneficiary in your will does not automatically make that person your AOP beneficiary. AOP determination is based exclusively on the AOP beneficiary election in your retired pay account.
