Someone please help me with this new DIMHRS for military?

Question

I just got the article and website link to this new stupid DIMHRS new way of getting paid! I think its so stupid.. How the h**l am i going to pay for bills and market when the new LES is now called a Pay Slip And the pay is only Mid month (15th) and End of the month. Meaning, you get paid for 2 weeks then the money goes in the 15th and then the other last 2 weeks of the month is end of month and goes in the first of the new month! How lame.. Please tell me i wont be broke? I have bills every month from the first until the 12th. then i have 3 bills plus groceries on the 15th.. Husband is deployed and doesnt know about this yet!

Answer 1

pending on the branch your husband is in? i know that the navy has the navy/marine corps relief. you go in and explain the situation, they help you out financially.you have to pay the money back of course. but they get you out of the rut so to speak.

being a dependent wife can be very stressful, there are many things to aid you. just research it.

Answer 2

you need to contact somone at the base and find out some real answers. first of all DIMHRS? i think you are refering to DMHRSi. it is nothing more than a man hour tracking tool we now use. it took the place of ucapers. it has nothing to do with active duty pay. the second issue with the LES, you are getting confused. i think you are going on my pay and pulling up what you think is the current LES but it is just the pay slip for that payday. click the one below that and you will see the whole LES. that pay slip just shows what your mid month paycheck is not the whole months pay. we still get paid on the 1st and the 15th of the month whether we deserve it or not. seriously if you have questions about pay call someone at the base in finance and they can review it all with you. if you want you can shoot me an email and i will see if i know the answer. good luck
