Once you are separated, your PIV card will no longer be a login option and you will use a username and password. After you separate, if you did not have a login ID and password, you will need to contact DFAS at 888-332-7411.

If your address is changing at the time of your separation from federal service, you should immediately initiate an address change in myPay. If you do not initiate an address change, your final W2 will be sent to the address on file at the time you separated from federal service.
