Remember to Update DEERS

Week of October 12, 2009

It's important for families to keep their DEERS records up-to-date whenever changes occur. Contact information on DEERS can be updated in person at a military ID card issuing facility, online, and by phone, fax or mail. There are two secure online options via either the new myDODbenefits website, or the Beneficiary Web Enrollment website. Both are available to people who have an active DFAS-issued myPay personal identification number. Beneficiaries can call the Defense Manpower Data Center's 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, or mailed to DMDC Support Office, 400 Gigling Road, Seaside, CA 93955-6771.
