I often get questions (usually from parents or spouse) about how a new service member can access his or her MyPay account. MyPay is the Department of Defense’s online payroll and accounting system that allows a service member to view his or her pay account, view travel claims, make changes to withholding and allotments, and change Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) contributions.
First, you must access the MyPay website by going to http://mypay.dfas.mil.
Second, you must have your social security number or your MyPay Login ID. First time users may log in with their social security number and will then be required to create a Login ID.
Third, you will need to enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN). If you do not know your pin or have not received your PIN, you can click on the “Reset current or request new password” hyperlink. If you have an email address on file with MyPay, (which would be done through a previous MyPay visit, or through an “appropriate administrator.” I don’t know what that means, maybe your finance office?) your temporary new password may be emailed to you. Otherwise, it will be mailed via regular US mail to your address of record. If you suspect your address might be incorrect in the pay system, you will need to check with your finance office to update your address. Your finance office might also be able to help you with PIN issues.
There is a ton more information at the MyPay FAQ website.
I hope this helps!
I have not been able to find an answer to this question anywhere. My husband is in basic training right now and his first paycheck will be deposited tomorrow (I see a direct deposit pending note right now). However I am unclear on if I can access MyPay while he is still in basic to see what the breakdown is of what is included in this paycheck. Is a MyPay account something he would have set up there, or will he not do that until he is done? If I request a new PIN, would there be an address already set up from his end (such as a military email that I don't already have access too), although I know he doesn't get internet access there.
Also, the amount I saw was much, much higher than expected- is it possible they would have paid BAH for the entire month of December? He arrived at basic on the 13th.
what post is your husban at?
He is in basic training at Great Lakes, IL.
On my retiree account statement, on back of statement under beneficiaries on record, it has my wife's name and under share 100%. Does this mean
she gets a check after I pass on?
It means she will get 100% of what is due her..My wife will get 55% of my present monthly retired pay when I go to DZ in sky..
I have tried to access mypay several times. I would like to be able to get a copy of my pay statement. None of the information given is helpful. We got notice that after the 8th of Oct. DFAS will not be mailing out hard coppies of our pay statment. Thank You,
GARY
Am I a member ? If so why am i un able to bring up ads that are posted. Have I been asigned a pass word? I am pleased to find this wed site, it has a wealth fi info. Thanks for it.
I have tried to sign on to this site several times with my email address as well as the pasword that I remember; but to no avail.. There should be an option added just in case you forget both your password and log in ID if need be, email addresses change on a regular basis as well, but the system here only have the one you put in from day one, there should be a way where you can change that on the screen. I understand security is an issue, but there can be a way to use your SSN to verify who you are. The only options that are given are if you forgot your password, or your log in ID, some of us old timers tend to forget things..
I'm an 'old timer' also and for the LIFE of me can't remember the email address I originally signed on with so I keep getting rejected. I have changed email addresses a dozen times……and also have NO IDEA what pin-number I could have used way back whenever I signed up. What the heck am I to do if I forgot everything except my SSN and my name?
CMAD, according to the MyPay website, "If you do not have enough information to complete this request, you should click Forgot your Password on the Home Page and request a temporary Password. When you get your temporary Password, come back to this screen to retrieve your Login ID using your SSN and the temporary Password." This requires only your social security number. However, as I understand it, it will be mailed to the mailing address that is on file with DFAS. If your mailing address is wrong, and you don't know your user name or email address, you will have to get through to them by phone. Hope that helps!
I need a pin number for my pay. I have never requested one.

Kayla, if you can't get into MyPay, you can contact the Army tax information telephone number at 888-332-7411. You can find more information in the post Still Need Your Tax Statement? http://paycheck-chronicles.military.com/2012/02/0… I hope that helps!
Feb 14 is here. Still no W-2 form. Can you help track in down for me. Robert L. Wilkerson USAF RETIRED.
Dear Mr. Wilkerson, you need to contact Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) to obtain your 1099R. You can do it via the MyPay online account access system, or you can call the DFAS Retiree Customer Service number at 800-321-1080. You can find more information and more specific directions in Still Need Your Tax Statement? http://paycheck-chronicles.military.com/2012/02/0… If you have not yet received your tax statement, it is unlikely to appear without you calling or retrieving it online.
CAN SOMBODY PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET MY W2 FOR 2011 I KEEP READING AND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND BUT AM READY TO GIVE UP. PLEASE HELP!!!
Sorry, I just got on to this part of facebook In case you are still awaiting to get your W2, log in to DFAS.mil and go to My Pay website, after you log in it'll give you listing of options including W2's, pay statement, etc…. I hope this helps
I'm trying to get a December 20011 RAS.The only option listed is April 24,2011.Attempting to get through on 1800 321 1080 has been to put it politely difficult.
Louis, if you can not access your statements online, you will have to continue to contact DFAS via telephone. I suppose you could try to write or email, but I'm unsure if that would be successful.
Good luck to you!
I meant April 2010 noot2011
Iam an 82year old tech-no phobic when it comes to computers. (2) plus I suspect some rug-rats were”playing” with my system over the holidays
(3)I erroneously changedmy selection from CDrpP to CRSC during the “OPEN SEASON” resulting in my ex-wife not receving her monly $1600.00 allotment I have made out to her. I assume the other deductions I had made such as insurance and SBP also were not deducted. FROM 002/013 PAY. Is this so?
I was trying to get a new PSWD to get into my DFAS account, but screwed that up too. HELP! !help! help! !> call me if necessary iF nOT, TELL ME WHERE i CAN CALL YOU TO GET MY PAY STRAIGHTENEAD OUT..
