A note from DFAS Retired & Annuitant Pay
Did you know there are two different types of beneficiaries you need to designate and keep up to date if you are a retiree?
One is your Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) beneficiary.
The other is your beneficiary for Arrears of Pay (AOP), which is the prorated retiree pay from first of the month of death to date of death, because entitlement to retired pay stops on the date of death.
Each type of beneficiary must be designated separately. And each type of beneficiary needs to be checked regularly to make sure the contact information is up to date.
We also suggest you limit the number of your AOP beneficiaries to avoid delays in payment. Remember that the AOP payment is usually less than one month’s pay, and this amount will be divided among all of your designated beneficiaries.
Keeping your beneficiary information current will help your loved ones Time to check and update your AOP beneficiary? Find out more at: https://go.usa.gov/xJxd7 or https://www.dfas.mil/manageAOP
Sincerely,
DFAS Retired & Annuitant Pay
