Retro Pay

[Sgt eve]

Hi, I was told by the Service Rep at the 1-800# that I will get my retro pay for such and such and "it will post Novemebr 27th" What does "post" mean because he told me I'll get it in the mail not direct deposit. Then I was told by somoeone else that it could take a month to get. The date of my letter was Nov. 14th. Does anyone have experience in this? Thanks. And yes, I am inpatient lol, I waited over a year.

That smells a bit fishy. Maybe it will post in their system on that date. Typically I've only heard of checks being direct deposited and then on the 30th or 1st. Just for grins and giggles I'd call back and ask for clarification.

Or, it could mean that it will "POST" on the 27th..............like in, for example, The POST Office!

In which case, the 27th sounds about right, for you to receive the POSTed article on the first of the month.

In VA terms, the word to post is to enter data into a computer like posting an award at the FInance office in Austin Texas.

I think it means the day the check is posted/issued. The government issues checks 5 or 6 dates a month and I think the 27th is one of the dates. jmo
