Online AF 20-Year, Mortgage Letter Reissues

The Air Reserve Personnel Center has launched self-service, automated reissue of 20-year and mortgage letters, via the Virtual Personnel Center Guard/Reserve portal. The original 20-year notification letter is issued approximately 120 days after the end of the retention/retirement year at the 20-year mark for Guard and Reserve Airmen. Once the data system reflects 20 years of satisfactory service, it issues the notification letter. The new automated process enables retirees to replace lost 20-year letters automatically by visiting the Web site at http://arpc.afrc.af.mil/support.asp. The personnel center also has automated the mortgage letter, which assists reservists with information about their retired pay benefits for mortgage applications. Reservists who are purchasing a new home may go online to http://arpc.afrc.af.mil/support.asp, sign in and print out a verification of the amount of gross retired pay they will receive.
