Navy Base Ventura County’s Retired Activities Office (RAO) is temporally closed for the first time in more than 20 years due to the current virus situation. Our goal was and still is to expedite death benefit claims for the family of a deceased military retiree and on a lighter note to provide help with more routine DFAS requests.
This closure could last for several months.
If you know of anyone needing help please pass the following info on: For help with retired pay/benefits call DFAS customer service @ 888-332-7411. For help with VA benefits/claims call 800-827-1000. In both cases be prepared to wait.
Thanks and everyone stay well
