Form Sf 813 PDF Details

The SF 813 form, titled "Verification of a Military Retiree's Service In NonWartime Campaigns or Expeditions," serves a critical purpose in bridging an individual's military career with their civilian federal employment benefits, particularly concerning leave accrual rate and reduction in force considerations. Crafted under the authority of sections 3502 and 6303 of title 5, United States Code, and further supported by Executive Order 9397 for the use of Social Security Numbers as identifiers, this document meticulously verifies a military retiree's participation in specified campaigns or expeditions. By furnishing requisite information—including personal identification details, service numbers, and specific dates of campaigns or expeditions—the retiree enables the processing of their service for credit in civilian federal employment settings. This verification process, though voluntary, is essential; failure to provide complete information may hinder or nullify one’s ability to verify periods of service crucial for accruing benefits. Additionally, the SF 813 stipulates clear instructions regarding its application, notably that it is intended solely for individuals who have retired from active duty and not for those who have served in the Reserve or National Guard without a pension until age 60. With specific provisions for various branches of the military and corresponding submit-to addresses based on retirement dates, the form encapsulates a detailed procedural guide to ensure accurate verification and recognition of a retiree’s service contributions outside of wartime, contributing significantly toward their post-military career advancements and benefits.

The SF 813 should be used to request verification of participation in a nonwartime campaign or expedition, and dates of participation, only if this information is not documented on the retiree's DD Form 214. It is the retired member's responsibility to provide the name of any nonwartime campaign or expedition for which credit is requested. Service will be verified only if the SF 813 lists specific campaigns/expeditions and inclusive dates of the retiree's participation. It is not sufficient to list just the service component (e.g., “USAF') or medal (e.g., “Vietnam Service Medal”). If a follow up request is necessary, reproduce a copy of the original request and clearly mark the top of the SF 813, “Follow up Request.”
