  • 5 Tips to keeping your myPay SAFE

    Dear myPay user:

    Your online habits go a long way in keeping scammers away from your personal and account information. The bottom line is that what you do and don't do protects you, your family and your financial security.

    Here's some things you need to be aware of:

    1. Always make sure your browser goes to the right URL. While imposters have tried to lure myPay users to a site that looks very much like myPay, make
    sure you are at myPay.dfas.mil.
    2. Don't use third party financial websites or apps that promise early deposits and asks you to provide your myPay login credentials. Giving that information may result in having some of your myPay settings and information being changed without your awareness.
    3. Beware of calls, emails or text messages allegedly from DFAS asking for information, money or containing active links to other online destinations. DFAS does not make unsolicited calls regarding debts, payroll mistakes or
    ask for information.
    4. DFAS will only communicate electronically using official DFAS emails
    (look for ".mil" at the end of the sender's address). Don't click on links
    in unexpected or suspicious emails or texts.
    5. Got a call, email or text you are unsure about? Check with
    1-888-332-7411. Our customer service representatives can check if the call
    or information is legitimate. You can also use the online ASK myPay secure tool to submit your questions or concerns.

    ABOUT LINKS: SmartDocs sends website addresses in plain text due to
    increased cybersecurity protocols. Your email service provider may automatically convert a website address to a hyperlink for your convenience. Before you click any active link in any email, make sure to read the target address that shows when the mouse pointer is over the link before you click. It is safer to always copy and paste any website address into your browser, rather than clicking on it.
