Coming May 4: myPay website streamlined and mobile-friendly

From the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) website

You already know that myPay is the most convenient way to manage your DFAS miltary, civillian employee, or miltary retired or annuitant pay account and get the tax documents you need. This spring, myPay will change, making it simpler and more convenient to use.

When you use myPay after tax season this year, you will see some big differences. The most striking difference will be the appearance of the myPay home page, which will look more like other online financial sites you are used to seeing, with the login area on the right side instead of the left, a banner area with important information, and quick links at the top. The home page will also appear more modern.

When you log in to myPay after the change, you will also see a streamlined navigation menu. The same menu choices will be available, but they will be organized into categories and the menu will appear on the left side on every page.

Another change is that myPay will be easier to use on your favorite mobile device. When you use myPay on your mobile browser, the menus and screens will adjust to your mobile device.

What will not change is your login ID and password; they will transfer over. The same login ID and password you use before the transformation, you will use after (as long as your password has not expired). And the “Forgot your Login ID?” and “Forgot or Need a Password?” options will be the same.

After the changeover, you will see a myPay that looks different. You can always ensure you are connecting to the official myPay system by checking your browser’s address bar for the correct myPay URL: https://mypay.dfas.mil.

There will also be updated video walk-throughs and FAQs to help you accomplish a variety of common online tasks, such as accessing a myPay account for the first time, password updates, and bank account and address changes.
