Report a missing annuity payment

Didn't receive your monthly annuity payment? Learn how to submit a missing payment report for annuitants (federal retirees, their survivors, or their spouses, ex-spouses, and children).

How to report a missing annuity payment

  1. Go to the online reporting page

  2. Provide your claim number, personal information, and missing payment information

    Family members and caregivers submitting a report on behalf of an annuitant should complete the Person Reporting section with their personal information. If you're an annuitant submitting a report for yourself, then you should provide your personal information in this section.

  3. Submit your report and wait to hear back from us

    We'll send you a confirmation email that we received your report of missing payment. We usually respond within 3 to 5 business days. We'll call or email you with an answer. Please don't contact us in the meantime as we need adequate time to research your missing payment.
