A DFAS FAQ Published April 24, 2015 By Debbie Smith 908th FM MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. -- How can I change my state of legal residence? In order to make a state change, you will need to fill out a form DD-2058. Please submit your change through your pay office or admin office for processing. Changes to your state of legal residence may not be made retroactively. How do I register for myPay? Once your pay account has been established by your payroll office and your first system generated payment has been issued, your myPay account is established and you will automatically be sent a temporary password. Generally, it will be four weeks from the time you receive your first paycheck to when you receive your temporary password in the mail. Once you receive it, you must customize it within 45 days. If you do not customize the password it will expire and you will have to request a new one. Upon initial log on, use your full SSN and the temporary password provided to you. The system will prompt you to customize your Login ID and password. If you have any inquiries or need to make pay changes prior to your MyPay account being established, you must contact your servicing payroll office or Customer Service Representative. What is the maximum amount that can be garnished from MyPay for a commercial debt? A maximum of 25 percent of your disposable pay can be garnished for a commercial debt. Disposable pay is defined as gross pay minus authorized deductions. Authorized deductions include, but are not limited to, applicable federal, state and local taxes, health insurance premiums, normal life insurance premiums, normal retirement contributions, including contributions to TSP, and debts owed the United States.
