Guess you should have been paying attention to all of us active duty Freepers who have been saying this all along. Then you would realize it's not BS.

Yes. I went into MyPay and my LES is showing roughly 1/2.

Here is part of the message from our FM (Finance):DFAS systems was told by their lawyers no pmts past the 8th. For those with duty projected from the 9th forward, DFAS is paying everything they are allowed, thru the 8th, and setting up pmts for beyond that to release just as soon as they are given the go-ahead.

Now...I don't mean to be harsh on you...but I've been battling this on FR for the last month with "know-it-all" Freepers who just insisted that the military would get paid...and those of us IN the military (especially those of us in senior leadership) tried to tell them "NO WE WON'T." But we could not get it through their thick heads. They kep saying it was propaganda...White House Lies....BS...The military will get paid because they are essential....even though we had all seen the guidance that said otherwise.

Sorry to vent...but perhaps if more people had paid attention EARLIER instead of insisting that they knew better...would could have avoided this. And if we couldn't have...the House couldhave passed the Defense Bill and the public MIGHT have been a little more aware and we could have beat BHO over the head with it.

Glad most here are finally catching on.

But you are getting paid. Maybe you won't be covered after the 8th. Maybe you will...I'd save the gloat (or venting) until we know.

Obviously, this action is cause for concern, but I think DFAS is doing the best that they can. At least they are guaranteeing a payout for 1-8 April.

Thanks. Very informative.

Do you happen to know about military retirement pay?

I am retired military and curious if military retired pay is to be stopped, and if this also affects VA disability payments.

Fortunately, I am well employed and paid well in the civilian sector so my VA and military retired pay are not essential.

Appreciate your answer. . .

Thanks for telling us what is happening and still telling us after all the grief you’ve gotten over the coming pay cut.

The “know it all” freepers here can be quite annoying and WRONG.

And thank you for your service.
