Hello to all retirees and annuitants. Thank you for taking time to read about what’s new with your retired or annuitant pay. The autumn season is very important and there is information in this newsletter that can help you over the next few months.
First, you need to make sure that your myPay account is ready for the upcoming tax season. There are two helpful articles on what you can do to get ready for the upcoming tax season.
There is also an article on how you can change your mailing address when you move or temporarily relocate so you don’t miss important information, such as your tax documents.
We are trying to increase our communication with reserve service members in the gray area (a member of the reserve component of the military who has completed their drilling but has not yet started collecting military retired pay). If you have friends or family members in the gray area, please let them know that we are creating some website information designed especially for them and we will be putting new information out there periodically. The first information is intended to help family members who need to report the death of a gray area reservist and start their Reserve Component Survivor Benefit Plan annuity.
There is a change coming to the Tricare dental program available to retirees. Please be sure to read that article, as there is a lot of important information including dates that you need to know about.
Thank you to everyone for your service to our country. Everyone at DFAS Retired and Annuitant Pay truly is grateful to you. Enjoy the fall season and look for the next edition of this newsletter in December.
