IMPORTANT INFO FOR VETS:

FROM A MEMBER- I just received my income tax refund. It was $550 more than I expected. The explanation letter I received said I was eligible to file “Schedule M” – Making Work Pay and Government Retiree Credit. Basically I got an $800 credit minus the $250 Stimulus Credit. This is a credit and is applied the same as withholding (whole dollars not a percentage). I think that our members should know about this. The schedule and instructions are available at the IRS.gov website.

DFAS- VFW Advisory. Military Retiree Alert: Military retirees need to check their beneficiary information on the reverse side of their Military Retiree Account Statement. Some retirees have reported an unauthorized beneficiary name change. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service said it has no way of ascertaining whose identity may have been stolen, resulting in a beneficiary change. If this becomes a widespread issue, they most likely will put out at notice. Those retirees that have the wrong beneficiary on their statement should contact DFAS immediately to change their beneficiary, and let them know it was changed without their authorization. The DFAS number is: 1-800-321-1080. Military Former Spouses 1-888-DFAS411

DFAS-Denver myPay officials have advised all DoD organizations and members to beware of copycat or look-a-like websites being developed to make people think they are accessing official sites. These websites may use the words "myPay" as part of their web address. Members are advised to use caution against mistakenly providing personal information to copycat, look-a-like, or other websites that use "myPay" in their web address. While they may be legitimate business concerns, they are not in any way affiliated with DFAS and myPay. The official myPay website is https://mypay.dfas.mil.
