Hi Folks: I work for the Coast Guard and to keep it short I forwarded an email I received today at work to myself at home. I did a copy and paste routine here. If you know anyone who was in the military during the year 1994, make sure they go to the web site listed below in the text. If you are wondering what DFAS is, it's the Government's big financial computer system. There was other information attached to the original email I received and bottom line is that the additional info did verify in fact this is/was a problem. So if you know anyone that was in the military during that time frame, tell them to act now. Thanks. > Hi Charlie: > > Beth heard a rumor that DFAS screwed up forwarding the 1994 FICA > > withholding > > for military personnel to SSA.
