This mailing list will be used to distribute news and information of interest to retired military personnel, veterans and their families. 2. The RETVET-INFO mailing list was created in order to get information to retirees and veterans without having to send non-health related messages to our TLC (TRICARE For Life) and HEALTH.MIL mailing lists. 3. Since most of the members of the TLC mailing list are retirees, TLC mailing list addresses were used to populate the RETVET-INFO mailing list. However, if you do not want your E-Mail address to be on the RETVET-INFO mailing list, please let me know by replying to this message or visiting http://www.hostmtb.org/retvet.html to unsubscribe online or sending a message to RETVET-INFO-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, with 'unsubscribe' as the subject, to unsubscribe via E-Mail. 4. RETVET-INFO FOR ALL RETIREES: Your Retiree Account Statement (RAS) is a two-page document issued by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) that summarizes your pay, benefits and deductions at a specific point in time. It is a description of what you can expect on the next pay date. Understanding your RAS is an important first step in managing your retirement pay. On 01 November 2011, DFAS started issuing a monthly electronic RAS (eRAS) to every retired military member. This statement will be available by the first of every month. And you can ONLY get it from your myPay account (https://mypay.dfas.mil/mypay.aspx), the official online account management system for military members and DoD employees. Please update your E-mail address in your myPay account, so DFAS can send you a reminder each month when your statement is available. If you don't have a myPay account, forgotten your password, etc., please visit the DFAS Retired Military & Annuitants web page at http://www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary.html for more information about myPay, eRAS and other retiree related topics,.
