Abstract: This information collection allows the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) to administer pay, health insurance, life insurance, and retirement benefits for its current employees, retirees, and their families. The collection is necessary to enroll new employees in benefit programs, process changes, and ensure that retirees and their designated beneficiaries receive correct and timely annuity payments. Most employees manage their benefits online through the secure e-Benefits portal. However, paper forms are also available for retirees and for certain legally required actions, such as applying for retirement annuities. This process is essential for AAFES to manage its employee benefits system effectively and fulfill its obligations to its workforce
