SECNAV’s RETIREE COUNCIL LAUNCHES BENEFITS WEBSITE
Washington--March 2, 2004 – The group that advises the Secretary of the Navy on emerging issues important to an ever-growing community of Navy and Marine Corps retirees has debuted the Navy/Marine Corps Retiree One Stop Shop website.
The website at http://www.lifelines.navy.mil/retireecouncil/ is designed to provide useful links on benefits, programs and related areas of interest for military retirees and their families, as well as those considering retirement.
Web site visitors will be able to access areas ranging from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service website on pay matters to the Department of Defense Survivor Benefit Plan website to the TRICARE website for medical benefits information. The site also connects to Shift Colors, the newsletter for Navy retirees as well as the online version of Semper Fidelis, the quarterly publication for maintaining the ‘Marine for Life’ bond between retired Marines, their family members, surviving spouses and the Marine Corps.
Other topics/links include the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), the Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS), legislative issues, as well as links to Retired Activities Offices nation and worldwide.
The Retiree Council was established by the Secretary of the Navy to consider issues of significant importance to retired military personnel, to facilitate interaction between the Secretary of the Navy and the Navy and Marine Corps retired community and to participate in other aspects of the Retired Activities Program.
To meet these objectives, the council – consisting of 12 retired officers and 12 enlisted personnel – meets once a year, normally in April, to review the effectiveness of current retirement programs and policies. It makes recommendations on improvements to benefits, privileges, other assistance, quality of life, morale aspects of the retired community, and any other matters relating to retired personnel.
Developed and maintained by the LIFELines Services Network – the Department of the Navy’s official Quality of Life (QOL) services delivery system - the new website is the latest of dozens of QOL websites and knowledge management systems powered by the Department of Defense Information Technology Center (ITC).
Those interested in more details about the Navy/Marine Corps Retiree One Stop Shop website, the LIFELines Services Network, or the DODITC should contact Rudy Brewington (brewington.Rudolph@hq.navy.mil) at (202) 433-3865.
