Good Afternoon Everyone,
I have been out of the military for a little over 7 years now. I have come to these forums many times in the past for answers. I am curious about SBP this time around. I didnt realize there was a window to get out of SBP and I missed it. I also am a few years behind on paying SBP. I want to start making payments to catch up but their payment tool didnt seem to take any other amounts than what is due. Is there a way to make an account somewhere to make payments of various different amounts so I can catch up. Also, I have tried to figure out my balance but it is not easy to do. I think I had to contact DFAS and they sent me to some other department. I did originally sign up for it to be taken out of my VA pay but as is always the case with the Army, they didnt do it. I have tried to get the VA to do it but they act confused that I need them to sign something so I can forward it on. I am at a loss with how I am suppose to figure this all out. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated. I hope you all are doing well.
Joe
