Dd Form 2891 PDF Details

This Department of Defense authorization document directs the VA to deduct RSFPP or SBP premiums from a retired servicemember's monthly compensation or pension. The authority for this process derives from Executive Order 9397 and 10 U.S.C. Sections 1438 and 1452(d).

Who Needs This Form

Retired servicemembers who elected either the RSFPP or the SBP benefit must submit this authorization to the VA. Without it, the VA cannot forward premium payments to DFAS, and benefit coverage may lapse due to missed deductions.

• VA office name and mailing address
• VA Claim Number (C-file number)
• Monthly deduction amounts for SBP and/or RSFPP
