Air Force officials require myPay for civilians Published March 3, 2005 WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Civilian employees of the Air Force will be required to use the myPay system to access their leave and earning statements beginning March 31.The change brings Air Force civilians in line with active duty-and reserve-component Airmen who are already required to access their pay data online, officials said. Hard-copy statements will no longer be mailed.Printing and mailing costs are some reasons for the change, officials said. But the primary goal is to provide people with more services and quicker access in an online format.There are numerous advantages to using myPay, officials said. Civilian users can view and print their last 26 pay statements; change allotments, direct deposit or tax withholding information; and buy savings bonds. Users may also view and print their W-2 tax forms.One major advantage is availability, officials said. Information may be viewed or changed from any computer with an Internet connection 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The myPay system can be found at www.dfas.mil/mypay. New users will need to establish a personal identification number.For more information, visit the Web site or contact the local accounting and finance office.
