As a senior, it’s easy to get to your myPay account, but you should still be proactive, especially if you only log in during tax season. This platform is very helpful for keeping track of your tax papers and making sure that the information about your retired pay or annuitant pay is correct.
Even if you’ve lost or forgotten your password, this guide will show you how to get into myPay and start using it. Take a quick look at it to get ready to use it right away.
Access myPay account as a Veteran
Do not forget about your myPay account. If you are like many veterans who only log in once a year to get their important 1099-R form, you may have had the problem of a password that expired or being lost. It’s easy to get your account back up and running, so you should do it now, before tax season.
Go to the myPay website and click on the “Forgot or Need a Password?” link to change your password. What you need to do is:
- Provide two pieces of information such as your Login ID, Social Security Number, or registered email address.
- If you’ve previously set up security questions, you’ll be prompted to answer them.
- Upon correctly answering, you can reset your password immediately.
If you keep up with your myPay account, you’ll always be able to get to your banking information without any problems. Do these things now to escape stress at the last minute when it’s time to file your taxes.
Don’t worry if you forgot your security questions or haven’t set them up yet. You can get a temporary password if you want to. This can be texted to the phone number you registered or mailed to the address you gave. After getting the temporary password, all you have to do is log back into myPay.
Beginners of the myPay account
Veterans of the United States who have never set up a myPay account will find the process easy. From the home page, you can ask for your first login.
Click on the link that says “Forgot or Need a New Password.” DFAS will then send a temporary password to the address they have on file. Deliveries to places in the United States usually take 10 business days.
Go back to the myPay page once you have your password. You can log in with your Social Security Number and the temporary password. Then you can make your new myPay page.
Important Tips for Veterans
- As a veteran, you’ll have access to your myPay account for 13 months after leaving service.
- Ensure you update your email and mailing addresses before you separate.
- Save a copy of your W-2s within that time frame.
- If you need assistance, contact the myPay Customer Care Center at 1-888-332-7411.
By doing these things, you can avoid any problems with your account and make sure you can easily get to your pay information all year long. Find out more by going to the official website: go to https://mypay.dfas.mil/
