Who we are

The Retired Services and Pay Section, Separation and Retirement Branch, Manpower Management Division, Manpower and Reserve Affairs, assists retired Marines and their dependents, as well as surviving beneficiaries, with a broad array of services and support. Among other things, we manage the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP), assist retirees and dependents with ID card matters/DEERS, publish the Semper Fidelis newsletter, administer the Secretary of the Navy Retiree Council, and publish the Retirement Guide.

Officials at Arlington National Cemetery have established a special call center to address concerns worried family members may have about the potential mishandling of their loved ones’ remains. Family members with concerns may call (703) 607-8199 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT.
