My husband reenlisted on November 29. I know it hasn't been 10 days yet, but kinda counting on that money for christmas, and his unit is getting ready to deploy, and they kept putting him off, I'm afraid his paperwork is sitting on a desk somewhere, and that were gonna get left high and dry! Is there anyway to see if it is going through or not while we still have time to fix it? His reenlistment guys at his unit are not helpful at all

I completely understand what you are going through on this. My husband re-enlisted (deployed) the 1st week in Nov. and we are still yet to receive his bonus. I am wanting it for Christmas time as well. And no one seems to be helping me either find out how to go about checking on it. I've tried calling the REAR-D to see if they could help me out...nothing, just an answering machine. I have emailed the re-enlistment person...nothing back, I've emailed DFAS and again nothing! They had said 2 wks...nothing, its been a month now since he re-enlisted. If anyone knows how to find anything out or who to talk to...I'd love to hear it too.

Ladies,
As long as the process was completed correctly, I am pretty sure it was, the action went from the Career Counselors system right to DFAS. I always advise my Soldiers to hold tight, between 2 weeks and 30 days. Your local finance will have nothing to do with a bonus payment. If your Soldier spouse has not been paid in a timely manner then he has to contact his career couneslor. DFAS is paying bonus money left and right, be patient, it will hit your accounts.

PM me your husband's SSN and I'll check it out.
