Watch for Changes in Mid-2025 If You Pay SBP/RCSBP Monthly Premiums Through Treasury CRS
Some retirees need to pay monthly Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) or Reserve Component Survivor Benefit Plan (RCSBP) premiums directly instead of having them deducted from pay because their VA disability compensation pay offsets their retired pay. We call that direct remittance.
Most of these payments are handled by the U.S. Department of Treasury Centralized Receivables Service (CRS), where retirees can make their payments online, use their bank’s bill payment service, or pay through the mail.
In mid-2025, DFAS will change the payment process for retirees who pay their SBP or RCSBP premiums directly through Treasury CRS.
In the coming months, please watch for communications that will provide details and information about the mid-2025 changes and the actions you will need to take.
There is no action you need to take right now, other than to make sure your mailing address is up to date so you can receive important communications.
