813 Form PDF Details

The SF 813 form (Standard Form 813) is issued by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to verify a military retiree's service in nonwartime campaigns or expeditions. This verification is required when the service period is not already captured on the retiree's DD Form 214, which is the standard military discharge document.

Military retirees who served in recognized nonwartime campaigns may qualify for enhanced leave accrual rates and favorable reduction-in-force (RIF) consideration. The SF 813 serves as the official record that bridges this gap in documentation. Authorized agencies and records centers use the form to confirm service periods and issue a signed verification to the requesting organization.

If you served in nonwartime campaigns after your active duty discharge date, completing this form ensures your full service history is recognized. For related government forms, see the OPM SF-15 for 10-point veteran preference or the DD Form 149 for military record corrections.
