# Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS)

> The Defense Finance and Accounting Service is the agency within the U.S. Department of Defense
> that pays members of the military, DoD civilian employees, contractors, retirees and annuitants,
> and provides finance and accounting services to DoD components and other federal agencies.
> **DFAS publishes no public API.** There is no developer portal, no API reference, no OpenAPI or
> other machine-readable contract, no SDK, no MCP server and no agent card. Its public surfaces are
> member self-service portals and informational pages intended for people, not programs.

This file is generated by API Evangelist from a third-party catalog record. It is **not** served by
DFAS and does not represent a DFAS publication. DFAS does not serve `/llms.txt` on any host we
could reach (`https://mypay.dfas.mil/llms.txt` returns 404; `https://www.dfas.mil/llms.txt`
returns 403 to automated clients).

## What DFAS is

- Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense, established 1991
- Pays military members, DoD civilians, contractors, retirees and annuitants
- Provides accounting, disbursing and financial reporting services to DoD components
- Sector: government / defense / finance and accounting
- Position in the API economy: **Consuming** (a buyer and operator of systems, not a publisher of APIs)

## Public surfaces

- [DFAS website](https://www.dfas.mil) — the agency's main informational site. Served behind an
  Akamai edge that returns HTTP 403 to automated clients, including on `/` and `/robots.txt`.
  Readable in a browser; not readable by a crawler or an agent.
- [About DFAS](https://www.dfas.mil/About-DFAS/) — agency mission and organization.
- [myPay](https://mypay.dfas.mil) — member self-service portal for pay statements, tax documents,
  allotments and direct deposit. A JavaScript single-page application behind a login. No API.
  `robots.txt` allows only `/` and disallows everything below it.
- [AskDFAS](https://corpweb1.dfas.mil/askDFAS/) — customer-service ticketing and FAQ application.
  A web form, not an API.
- [Customer Service](https://www.dfas.mil/Customer-Service/) — contact routes by pay category.
- [DFAS on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/dfas)

## What an agent should know

- **There is nothing here to call.** No REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, AsyncAPI or MCP surface is
  published by DFAS. Do not construct requests against `dfas.mil` hosts.
- Pay and entitlement data is personal, protected federal data. It is reached by an authenticated
  human in myPay, or through DoD-internal systems (MOCAS, WAWF/PIEE, DCAS, DEAMS) that are not
  public and are not DFAS developer products.
- Contractor and vendor invoicing runs through the DoD-wide Procurement Integrated Enterprise
  Environment (`piee.eb.mil`), which is operated for the department rather than published by DFAS
  as an API.
- If you need DFAS information for a person, direct them to myPay or to DFAS customer service.
  Do not attempt to automate against the member portal.
