Hey brother. I called back on Monday and got the run around again. The woman at DFAS told me that when I called last week, they had just put in the request to release my funds so that if I don’t get paid by April 23rd, I should call them back so they can get in contact with the Ombudsman to...

Good news everyone. I called DFAS today and they said it’s looking like they finally closed my account yesterday (03/23/20). They just haven’t sent out the final pay/severance pay yet. She said if I haven’t gotten my money by April 1st, to call back to see if they released the funds. :)

lol Thanks Ron.

Hooo boy, I’m almost cussed the lady out in Finance. Basically, yes, because we have combat related injuries, our severance is tax free. However, due to the limitations of the DFAS system, they somehow cannot tell the system to leave the money alone in the audit. So, she told me they will tax...

Ah ok. Yeah, I was a little hesistant to post because I know my situation is a lot simpler than for you guys. Appreciate the help!

Wow seems like things are not going well for DFAS huh? When I spoke with Finance back in Dec before I went on Terminal in Jan, they told all of us that it would take 3 weeks from when we separated (March 2nd) to get our severance check. When I asked for clarification as to the severance check...

That’s great! You should be getting your ratings hopefully before the holiday break.

Thanks!

Update peeps: Got placed on TRANSPROC today with a NLT of March 2nd, 2020. Going to go on terminal leave here around December 27th. Finally done guys. :)

Welp 10% Army; 60% VA. More than what I was expecting to be honest. I have an appointment to see legal tomorrow at 12 and then sign my DA 199 at 1300.

Got called in to review my ratings and sign my DA 199 this morning. I’ll let you guys know what I get!

Well looks like my whining on the forum paid off! I randomly checked my claim status and the initial claim was closed! I expect I’ll hear from the PEBLO very soon!

I guess the only accurate update is when it closes out as usually your ratings are about to come in to the PEBLO. Thanks for the info!

This is interesting because I’m an Army guy almost in the same boat. My claim status on va.gov still says September 19th when my claim was first entered but it has updated twice (the most recent being today) and the claim end date went from December 2020 to April 29th, 2020 to April 21st, 2020...

Congrats! I’m assuming you’ll be taking leave pretty soon here?
