The U.S. Coast Guard's National Retiree Help Desk (CG NRHD) is administered and operated by volunteers who are available to assist members of the U.S. Coast Guard Uniformed Retiree Community, including Coast Guard military, USPHS, and NOAA retirees and their dependents, annuitants, survivors, and family members, with any issues. The volunteer virtual watch-standers are NOT authorities or subject matter experts in any area and only serve to help “connect” individuals with needed resources to expertly respond to their issues. CG NRHD Toll Free Numbers: 1-833-224-6743 (1-833-2CG-NRHD) or 202-475-5381, or by email: nrhdesk@gmail.com.
