DFAS will pay the military in full at the next regular payday - Friday
April 15. But there will be two bank deposits for each member. I want to
explain why we are doing this and our plan to inform the troops.
The normal day to begin the military pay run was last Thursday, April 7.
Facing a shutdown and possible furloughs, DFAS ran the payday for the
period April 1 to 8. Interim leave and earning statements (LES) were generated for this period.
We will run a second, semi-manual pay for the period April 9 through
April 15. Both deposits will go into member accounts on April 15. This
semi-manual run will not automatically revise the LES and, despite some
weekend efforts to do so, it didn't prove feasible. So the mid-month,
interim LES will only show pay for April 1 to 8. The month-end LES will
be complete for the entire month.
Any time you do something new, there is risk. DFAS does statistical
sampling of pay records to check for accuracy. We will pay particular
attention to that process this week.
