When does severance pay come in?

Question

I am getting a medical separation from the army. I go on permissive TDY on the 16th and my separation date in October 18th. I am curious as to when I would get my check into my account? Thanks for helping me...

Answer 1

usually the military gives it within 3 pay cycles...can be longer.  I know ours came in about 60 days after.  

Answer 2

they have 180 days to pay you the full amount, a buddy of mine got out a couple months ago due to a medical board and he got half of his severance pay but has to wait for the rest, its no set time, just from the day he got out to 180 days
