Retired Pay Newsletter

The Director's Corner by Karl H. BernhardtWelcome to the 3rd issue this year of the DFAS Retired Pay Newsletter. Included in this issue you will find information recommending that all retirees and annuitants establish a Direct Deposit account for secure and timely pay. Also included in this issue is current information regarding the VA Retro/Disabled Military Retiree Retroactive Pay. Read more from the director at: http://www.dfas.mil/rna-news/august2007/directorscorner.html Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) For Secure and Timely PayIn an effort to ensure military retirees and annuitants receive their pay on the payment due date, DFAS is highly recommending that all retirees and annuitants establish a Direct Deposit account either through the Direct Deposit System (DDS) or the International Direct Deposit System (IDD). More information about Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)can be found here: http://www.dfas.mil/rna-news/august2007/eft.htmlVA Retro/Disabled Military Retiree Retroactive PayOn September 1, 2006, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) finalized plans for disabled military retiree retroactive pay, commonly called the VA Retro program. The program is designed to pay eligible military retirees any retroactive money due as a result of increases in their percentage of disability. More information on VA Retro/Disabled Military Retiree Retroactive Pay can be found here: VA Retro/Disabled Military Retiree Retroactive Pay can be found here: http://www.dfas.mil/rna-news/august2007/varetro.htmlSurvivor Benefit Plan (SBP) Automatic Coverage and OptionsThere appears to be some confusion regarding the application of the automatic coverage provision under the SBP and the SBP options available to the military retiree after retirement. The information below serves as guidance on these issues. More information about SBP can be found here: http://www.dfas.mil/rna-news/august2007/sbpautocoverage.htmlKeep Retired Pay Records CurrentIt is very important to review your retired pay account information and ensure that it is current; things such as correct mailing address, marital status and designated beneficiaries, to name a few. More information about keeping retired pay records current can be found here: http://www.dfas.mil/rna-news/august2007/keepretired.html Retiree Conferences and Seminars UpdateAs published in the May 2007 edition of the Retired Pay Newsletter, there are several retiree conferences and seminars held each year throughout the country, as well as in a few foreign locations.

More information about Retiree Conferences and Seminars can be found here: http://www.dfas.mil/rna-news/august2007/seminars.htmlPay DatesThis is to provide you the schedule of retiree and annuitant pay dates through 2008 to avoid any confusion as to when you should expect to see the payment deposited to your account.

Notary Rights:Verify VINs#Notarizing WillsSolemnizing marriageTaking AcknowledgmentAdministering Oaths ans take AffidavitsAttesting to Photocopies of Cetrain DocumentCertifyintg the contents of a Safe-Deposit Box------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------OverviewIt is important that a notary public understands the duties and responsibilities of this office in the State of Florida. The law considers many instruments to be of such importance that they be signed by the maker in the presence of a notary public. The notary's function is to authenticate signatures and administer oaths on these documents, and therefore prevent fraud. The notary public is directly responsible for determining that the person signing is who he/she states. It is also important that the person signing the document states he/she understands what is being signed.When you are appointed as a notary public, you may notarize documents anywhere in the State of Florida.Requirements to Become a Notary Public1. At least 18 years of age2. United States Citizen (if not a U.S. Citizen, the applicant must also submit a recorded Declaration of Domicile from the local courthouse)3. Florida Resident (A FL driver's license number is required. If the applicant does not have a FL driver's license, a photocopy of one of the following is required: FL identification card, FL voter's registration card, FL homestead exemption, income tax form, recorded Declaration of Domocile, or a sworn Affidavit of Residency.)4. No Felony Record (if an applicant has a felony conviction)Procedures for Notarizing Documents1. A notary public may notarize a signature on a document if the following conditions are met:1. The person whose signature is being notarized is in the presence of the notary public at the time the signature is notarized.2. The document is complete.3. The person signing the document is mentally competent and understands what he/she is signing.4. The notary is in the State of Florida.5. The notary is not a party to the transaction - or mother, father, son, daughter, or spouse to the signer.2. A notary public must specify in the certificate of acknowledgement what type of identification was relied upon, and whether or not an oath was taken.3. Valid identification must be obtained from each person whose signature is to be notarized. Proper identification is necessary since legal consequences of an error are severe. The following examples are good forms of identification:1. Personal acquaintance of the notary2. Driver's license3. Passport4. Photo identification card issued (within the past five years) by a state or branch of the federal government4. A notary public must specify in the certificate, when two or more signatures are to be notarized, which signature is being notarized. It will be presumed that absent these specifics, notarization by the notary public is for all signatures on the document.5. When notarizing a document, it is important that the state, county, and date be completed before the acknowledgment and seal are affixed.A Florida Notary Public... Can:1. Perform a marriage ceremony in the State of Florida for all individuals (including any family members) with a valid Florida marriage license.2. Charge up to $10.00 per notarial signature on a document; charge up to $20.00 for performing a marriage ceremony.3. Act as a notary anywhere in the State of Florida.4. Notarize foreign documents as long as the notary is confident that the signer can read and understand the document that is being signed.5. Notarize documents from another state or country. Documents leaving the state or country typically require an Apostille or Certificate of Notarial Authority (authentication). This certification can be obtained by mailing the request, notarized document and payment of $10 (made payable to the Secretary of State) to:Department of StateNotary Commissions and Certifications SectionRoom 1801, The CapitolTallahassee, Florida 32399-0250For any questions regarding Apostilles or Certificate of Notarial Authority, contact the Department of State at (850) 413-9732 or (850) 921-5268.6. Supervise the making of a photocopy from an original document and attest to the trueness of that copy, provided the document is not a vital or public record (such as birth certificates & marriage licenses). If the document is a Florida vital record, a certified copy can be requested from:Department of HealthBureau of Vital StatisticsVital Records Section217 Pearl StreetJacksonville, Florida 322027. Be both witness and notary for the same document.8. Affix the optional embossed seal (for decorative purposes only) in conjunction with the required Florida rubber stamp seal. The rubber stamp seal must be affixed in photographically reproducible black ink, however, to be legal by state law.A Florida Notary Public... Can Not:1. Notarize a document unless the signer personally appears before the notary public at the time of the notarization.2. Notarize a document outside the State of Florida.3. Notarize a signature on a document requiring two signatures unless the notary stipulates which signature is being notarized by indicating such in the acknowledgement.4. Notarize a document that has blank spaces therein.5. Post date or antedate any acknowledgement on a document.6. Notarize a document if the signer is the mother, father, son, daughter, or spouse of the notary public.7. Notarize a document if the notary public has a financial interest in or is a party to the underlying document.8. Notarize his or her own signature.9.
