Tools Designed for You, Especially in Times of Need 

We are always working to improve your experience, and your feedback is essential. The online tools featured in the video are a direct result of requests for more accessible, 24/7 service. The AskDFAS platform allows you and your loved ones to submit requests and find answers anytime, from anywhere in the world. 

AskDFAS includes specific categories for SBP annuitants and survivors. For general questions or to upload forms, you can use the "SBP Annuitant - Ask A Question" or "SBP Annuitant/Survivor - Form Upload Tools" categories. 

We also have a dedicated category called "Report a Death / Survivor - Ask a Question" that allows for reporting the death of an SBP annuitant in receipt of annuity pay. This special category also offers tailored question and answer (Q&A) assistance to help guide you and your family through a difficult time of loss and ensure you receive the support you need. 

Are you still a little hesitant about navigating these online tools? Don’t worry! The video walks you through the process step-by-step. You can find the AskDFAS Tips video and other great resources on the DFAS Quick Tools webpage

Our goal is to empower you to manage your account with confidence. Help us continue to spread the word by sharing the video with fellow SBP annuitants and survivors. Let’s make managing your pay easier for everyone.
