Current Contact Information Crucial to Receiving 1099R
It’s important that our members keep their contact information current. The number one reason a retiree or annuitant doesn’t receive their 1099R is because it is sent to the wrong place.
If a retiree or annuitant does not have their correct address on file with us by December 5, 2011 they will experience a significant delay in receiving their end of year documents. If a member does not have an active myPay account and calls or sends a written request in to DFAS Cleveland, processing a change of address and reissuing a new 1099R will take at least 30 days.
Retirees and annuitants with an active myPay account can decrease their wait time for an address change and new 1099R by logging in and updating their own account. Changes take effect in 3-5 business days, and a copy of their 1099R can be printed directly from myPay.
For more information about account maintenance, 1099R requests, and logging in to myPay visit our website at www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary.html.
