Answer 3

Retirement pay is paid on the 1st of each month.  It can take several months before the first is received especially if he had time on the books.  Is he with the same bank?  sometimes it could be because of that.  He needs to call and make the inquiry as to why he hasn't gotten it yet so it can be cleared up by the 1st.
