Keep DEERS Information Up to Date

Week of September 07, 2009

It's important for families to keep their Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) records up to date. To register family members in DEERS and receive an ID card, the family member and sponsor must bring documentation, such as a marriage or birth certificate, to a military ID card issuing facility. Locate ID card offices by ZIP code, city or state using the ID card office locator. Update contact information online at the new myDODbenefits website. Beneficiaries can also call the Defense Manpower Data Center Support Office at 800-538-9552 (866-363-2883 TTY/TDD) to update addresses, e-mail addresses and phone numbers. Changes can also be faxed to 831-655-8317.
