normally they turn on your pay for the following month. Then in the next 3-6 months they process your backpay for the several months of backpay that you are owed. That's how it went for my wife. She got approved and started getting paid but it took 4 months for her to get her 3 months of CRSC backpay. The backpay is processed by a special group in DFAS since they have to calculate everything. The larger the check and the more the backpay the longer it takes.
Thanks for the run down! Yeah I'm sure it's coming I just won't hold my breath waiting on the backpay haha. Fortunately they did the back pay to my retirement in May 2004.
Initial payment, if approved o/a the first half of the month *usually* hits the 1st of the month, if it's the latter half, then the 2nd 1st of the month, i.e., 15-45 days has been a pretty accurate DFAS average with that. Retro pay, can sometimes hit before the monthly payment; however, the average there has been 45-60 days out. Since they dated yours to May 2004, you should get back to 2008 when NDAA 2008 authorized CRSC for Ch 61 with less than 20 years AFS. If you were a 20-year AFS retiree, then, yes, it'll be back to 2004.
The CRSC has been approved, and that almost always means you will receive slope run your back pay if you are eligible.
CRSC has approved it, DFAS will pay, and you're just in the final processing stage.
DD Form 2860 has all the definitions on the last page of the form, this is the only definition to go by:
Keep on with the keep on. Live your life as you have been, don’t spend money or make plans for money or benefits you may never get. Find a hobby or activity if you are not working, or heck find a job. I didn’t file for TDUI and are not bedridden. So yes I work within the limits of my disabilities.
The timelines are pretty accurate. What I did was force myself to NOT do something like log in to the iperms website. I made myself log in only once a week. Eventually you kind of just forget about it.
You can set it to notify you. I made sure my access was good and left it alone. Email came and there was my award letter. Navy seems like you’re dealing with the bad old days VA with that 18 month wait.
Oh I agree. I was just letting the person posting know how I dealt with not obsessing over it. I remember the old ebenefits VA claims days where any kind of movement, or maybe ebenefits was down, could mean anything from your case has been updated to you should be getting backpay at any time.
