AAFMAA Response to Government Shutdown As you know, on 1 October 2013, the U.S. Government initiated a shutdown of many federal offices, while continuing to keep the military and some other essential employees working. We want you to know that, although AAFMAAs members and policy holders are current or former members of the American Armed Forces and their families, AAFMAA is still operating and has sufficient financial strength and reserves to continue to provide superlative personal service throughout the shutdown. Our personnel working at Fort Myer and Reston in Virginia, Fayetteville, NC, and Colorado Springs, CO, will continue to work during their normal hours and you can reach us at our toll free number (800) 522-5221 or online at aafmaa All of the military and retiree allotments, as well as credit cards, and “EZ-pay” payments from checking accounts were received on 30 September, prior to the shutdown. They will be processed normally (e.g. deductions from checking accounts should be o/a 10 October) Normal billing will continue to take place during the month of October and all bills are due at their normal time. The government has shut down 17 times since 1976 for an average time of 6.4 days and the longest time of 21 days. Our expectation and hope is that the shutdown will be resolved so that all government workers can be back at work and be paid on time in October. There should be little need for members to disrupt how they pay their bills from AAFMAA. If members have specific questions or issues, they should contact AAFMAA policy services directly at (800) 336-4538 or policyservices@aafmaa.
