Director's Message

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read our June 2024 Retiree Newsletter. Summer is such a great time of year. The kids and grandkids are out of school, the weather is warm and sunny and it is a good time to get some projects done.

Speaking of projects, we just completed a refresh of our askDFAS online tools. We have all the information on that and much more in this edition.

One project you can do is give your retired pay account a checkup. There is an article in this edition with helpful tips on how to do that.

If you have a project that requires a letter of verification of your retired or SBP annuity pay, we have an article to let you know how you can obtain that information from DFAS.

For the Reservists and National Guard who are in the Gray Area, but haven’t reached retired pay age yet, be sure to check out our Gray Area Retiree spotlight article!

We also have information for our SBP college-age annuitants about school certifications.

Finally, DFAS will have a representative at a few upcoming Retiree Appreciation Days. If you are close to one of the events listed in the article, please come out and say hello. We always enjoy the chance to meet you face to face and answer any questions you may have.

It is our honor to serve those that served. If we don’t see you at an upcoming Retiree Appreciation Day, we’ll talk to you in the next newsletter. Take care and have a great summer!
