Reservists switch to paperless LES

  • Published
ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. (AFPN) --  Jan. 1 was the deadline for Air Force reservists to start using myPay, the Web-based method for managing pay.

Airmen who did not sign up may find it difficult to know how much they are getting paid. The Feb. 1 leave and earning statement is the last paper copy they will receive through the mail. The change for Air Force Reserve Command civilian employees depends on local bargaining obligations at their units, but eventually they also will use myPay.

Under the myPay program, people view their LES online. If they do not have access to the Internet at home or at work, they can contact their respective Reserve or civilian pay offices.

To use their myPay account, reservists were supposed to activate their personal identification numbers by Dec. 31, officials said.

If reservists do not have a PIN or need a new one, they can obtain a temporary PIN through their Reserve pay office or the local Air Force finance office, said Mike Bilbrey, AFRC’s management and finance branch chief.

Another way to obtain a temporary PIN is by going to the myPay Web site at https://mypay.dfas.mil and selecting the "new pin" button. It may take 10 business days from the date of the request for mail delivery of the new PIN.

In addition, reservists can ask for a new PIN by fax or mail. They need to sign their request and give their full name, Social Security number, a copy of their military photo identification and a daytime telephone number.

The fax number is (216) 522-5800 or DSN 580-5800. The mailing address is: DFAS-Cleveland/Code PMMCCA, Attn: myPay, 1240 E. 9th Street, Cleveland OH 44199-2055.

People should wait at least two business days before using their PIN if they got it by fax and four days if by mail. They will not receive confirmation that their PIN has changed. (Courtesy of AFRC News Service)
