The opt-in period for the new Blended Retirement System (BRS) is now officially open. Service members will need to visit one of these designated resources to opt into the BRS:

• Army, Air Force, Navy: MyPay
• Marine Corps: Marine Online (MOL)
• Coast Guard, NOAA Commissioned Corps: Direct Access
• U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS): Contact the USPHS Compensation Branch

Service members who believe they are eligible to opt-in, but do not see the opt-in option available online, should contact their local personnel/human resources office to verify eligibility.

NOTE – The decision to opt-in is irrevocable, even if a service member changes their mind before the deadline on Dec. 31, 2018.

If an eligible service member takes no action, they will remain in the legacy retirement system.

For help making this major decision, check out our BRS Resource Center.
