What Retirees Can Expect in the Year-End Mail from DFAS 

For retirees who request their tax statements to be sent by postal mail from DFAS each January, we will mail your IRS Form 1099-R along with a special print edition of the DFAS Retiree Newsletter which includes important news for the coming year. 

We will also include a Retiree Account Statement (RAS), which shows the change in your gross and net payment that occurs when there is a cost of living adjustment (COLA) to your pay.

It’s important to note that the effective date of this RAS is the first of December, so its year-to-date summary figures are only for 11 months (the December payment is not included). Therefore, the year-to-date summary figures on this RAS will not match your 1099-R.

If you opted out of receiving mailed delivery of statements, you will not receive this notice in the mail. Your 1099-R and RAS documents are conveniently available to print or download from myPay.
