I am an annuitant receiving Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) payments. Can I have a Defense Finance & Accounting Service (DFAS) MyPay account?
Yes, widows/widowers who are receiving Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) payments from DFAS can have a myPay account, which is the quickest and most convenient way to manage your annuity pay. This online account allows you to view your SBP annuity account detail, including your Annuitant Account Statement, change Direct Deposit information, change your mailing address, and print and view IRS forms, such as the 1099-R. Only annuitants who are currently receiving an SBP annuity payment or SSIA pay can use myPay. If you've never used myPay, it's easy to get started. Go to https://mypay.dfas.mil using the internet from your computer or your mobile device browser and click "Forgot or Need a Password" to have a temporary password mailed to you. The password will be mailed via regular mail to the address you have on file with DFAS and you will receive it in about 10 business days. Once you have received a password, return to the myPay home page and click "Create your myPay Profile" to get started. Enter your SSN and temporary password. You can get a downloadable myPay guide at: Slide 1 (dfas.mil)
