Director's Message


Welcome to the October 2024 edition of the Survivor SBP Newsletter. Thank you for taking the time to see what is going on with your SBP benefits. We have a lot of good and helpful information for you in this newsletter. So let's get right into it.  

First, we have been busy updating our askDFAS website to make it better for our customers. The article we have will let you know about all the improvements we have made and how you can use it to make your customer service experience better.
               
We also have an article in our Active Duty/Line of Duty spotlight that can really help out survivors who may have been affected by the changes to the Survivor Benefit Plan that took effect last year. Please take a look at that article to see if you or another surviving family you know may have been affected.
               
We also have informative articles on how to prepare your loved ones to report the death of an annuitant, how you can start getting ready now for tax season, who to update when your information changes, and how to set up your myPay account. I highly recommend reading each article to get all the information you need.
               
Thank you again for taking the time to read the Survivor Newsletter. We are constantly looking for new ways to improve your experience with the Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS). Thank you and we will see you again in our next newsletter in April 2025. As always, it is truly an honor to serve the families of those that served.
