If you are a new retiree or honorably discharged veteran, there may be a delay in the Exchange receiving your updated records. If you have an issue logging in to your Exchange account, please allow at least 72 hours for your account to update. If the issue continues, contact customer service.
Why is my Social Security number needed?
Only authorized Exchange customers can order from the all services Exchange Online Store and the Exchange Online Mall. Since we are unable to validate eligibility online by viewing each customer's Identification and Privilege Card, we must validate eligibility through the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). The only information available for eligibility validation purposes is Social Security number and date of birth. For this reason, when first-time customers log-in to our site we are required to obtain the last four digits of their Social Security number, along with a date of birth and last name. The first time customers enter our site, however, they will be required to create a new Username to replace their Social Security number. Please be assured that we do not retain your Social Security number outside of the DEERS system and we take every measure to safeguard your personal information (for details, refer to our terms and conditions section, then click "Online Security Guarantee").
