The LES will identify the combat zone and if combat pay is being received. • Deployment to a combat zone can also be established via a copy of the deployment orders. • If the family does not have a copy of the LES, they may be able to access the information via the Web at https://mypay.dfas.mil. To do this, they need the SSN of the deployed person and their password. • The filing group may also seek assistance from the local base financial office for the needed combat zone and pay information. • If the payment is coming to the filing group via direct deposit, the bank statement can also verify the monthly allotment. For HSD medical programs, military Income is counted for monthly and annual income.
