How are children added to DEERS?
• It is dependent on the following: – A Female sponsor needs only bring the child’s birth certificate and Social Security card. – An unmarried male sponsor must have the child’s birth certificate, Social Security card, and judicial determination (i.e. court-ordered child support or divorce decree naming children as his own). If no judicial determination has been made forms are available at an ID Card Center that must be sent to DFAS for approval. – If a male sponsor is married and his wife is already on DEERS, he need only bring the child’s birth certificate and SSN card.
