NOTIFY DFAS OF LIFE-CHANGING EVENTS

Participants in the Survivor Benefit Plan should contact the

Defense Finance and Accounting Service in writing immediately upon a beneficiary’s death, a remarriage or divorce, or

when they acquire another child. Send a copy of the appropriate document to DFAS, US Military Retirement Pay, PO

Box 7130, London KY 40742-7130.

If a retiree was not married on the date of retirement, he or she has one year to add the first spouse he or she marries

after retirement to the Survivor Benefit Plan. A written request must be received by DFAS before the first anniversary

of the marriage. For more information contact the SBP counselor at the nearest Air Force installation.
