- Payment Information regarding a Military Pay System .
Payments from the military pay systems are
made the first business day following the monthly payroll processing
from which the payments were deducted.
Thus, if our letter informs you that your payments will start with
the month of January, it means that the payment will be deducted from
the member's January pay and that you should receive your payment
on or about February 1st.
For payment histories, please contact your pay office directly. The
Office of the Assistant General Counsel for Garnishment Operations
does not have access to pay records.
- Receipt of Payment .
-
For payments issued from
the accounts military members (active, retired or reserve), please
allow 10 business days from the date your check was issued before
inquiring on the status of your payment. Checks issued from military
accounts are dated for the 1st business day of each month. For checks
issued from the accounts of civilian employees of the Department of
Defense, please allow 7 days from the date of the normal distribution
of checks (bi-weekly cycle). By waiting the suggested timeframe, adequate
time will have passed to allow for delivery of your check or postal/EFT
returns.
