If you or your family live or work in the National Capital Region, NAV Admin 233-13 tells you to log into NFAS and check in. This should be done as soon as possible. The second NAV Admin 237-13 is the semi-annual update and verification of your NFAS account. If you are active, reserve, Navy civilian, or an overseas contractor, you must log into NFAS to check and update your information by October 1st. This is a Navy-wide order.
