COMBAT RELATED SPECIAL COMPENSATION (CRSC) STATEMENTS

       Retirees to receive monthly CRSC statements electronically The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) has implemented the electronic delivery of Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC) account statements. For those military retirees who receive CRSC, the statements will be available on a monthly basis beginning July 1, 2005 via the online pay account site, myPay. DFAS officials said the CRSC account statements provide detailed information regarding continuing monthly CRSC payments including disability ratings, unemployability, Purple Heart indicators, as well as other entitlement data. While members may continue to contact the Retired and Annuitant Contact Center by phone at 1-800-321-1080, officials believe the statement will answer questions regarding the computation of the CRSC payment.CRSC monthly statement will only contain information concerning the retired member's continuing monthly payment. Details about retroactive payments will be available through myPay by the end of the year. The CRSC monthly statement will only be available through the myPay Web site at https://mypay.dfas.mil .

DFAS officials point out the Web-based system delivers personal pay information and provides the ability to process pay-related transactions timely, safely and securely for all its members. The online system eliminates the risks associated with hard copy documents by allowing members to access their electronic 1099R, Retiree Account Statement (RAS) and other financial information. They further explained that myPay security matches existing private industry standards with the highest level of encryption and security designed to prevent member information from being accessed by others on the Internet. Individuals without a myPay account should call DFAS at 1-800-390-2348 to get a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to access your myPay account on the web. If you already have a myPay PIN, but have forgotten your number, dial the same number to get your PIN reissued."
