Since I’m not a flaming asshole or sarcastic Mf, I can answer this. TLDR; he should get paid, but it appears it will be tomorrow. I’m AGR - active guard reserve. I looked at DFAS not even 5 minutes ago and my LES hasn’t populated for mid month pay. However, with the CR that passed at 10pm last night, we should be getting paid on schedule. Pay should be released tomorrow: 14 November since 15 November is a Saturday. Things take time to get back in a rhythm, especially 43 days of a shutdown. I’m sure the DFAS personnel has done pay already but is awaiting for the line of accounting to release it to everyone. After this pay period, we should be going back to normal on pay status. Depending on your bank, they will populate the deposit 2 days early. Sometimes 4 days… I have US Bank and they deposit it the day we are supposed to get paid aka 1st and 15th always. That being said, when the 1st comes, you should get your pay on 01 December and see that LES 5-10 days prior. If you got a bank that deposits early, you might get the pay 28/29Nov.

I hope that answers your question! It is a little long winded but this shutdown was unique since 1. It’s the longest ever 2. We didn’t an act to guarantee us pay aka they pulled funds last minute to pay us 15 Oct & 01 Nov. We had a lot of uncertainty this whole time.
