Needs and Uses: The DD Form 93 is used by Service members to
designate beneficiaries for certain benefits in the event of the
Service member's death. It is also a guide for disposition of the
member's pay and allowances if captured, missing or interned. It also
shows the names and addresses of the person(s) the Service member
desires to be notified in case of emergency or death, and designates
the person authorized to direct disposition of the Service member's
remains upon death. For civilian personnel, it is used to expedite the
notification process in the event of an emergency and/or the death of
the member. This requirement is identified in DoDI 1300.18,
``Department of Defense Personnel Casualty Matters, Policies, and
Procedures.'' The goal is to retain decisions by service members and
deploying contractors relating to persons to be notified in the event
of illness, injury, missing status, or death and to capture decisions
as it relates to the provision of benefits and designation of a person
authorized to direct disposition of their remains upon death. Support
staff are able to direct benefits and decisional briefings to those
designated as beneficiaries and decision makers as designated by the
Service member or deploying contractor.
