I just got my reenlistment bonus and graduated from the course that I reenlisted for about 30 days ago. The 30 day posts are pretty spot on.

It takes approximately 30 days from the time your career counselor confirms the contract in the database

How long does it take to receive a reenlistment bonus after your contract has been signed and submitted?

A “short” time.

You should get it on or around your anniversary date. Depending on the length of the contract and amount of the bonus, they'll do a half and half where you get half upfront when the new contract starts and the other half at the mid-point of the contract.

example: My anniversary date is 15AUG. I signed my contract in like April or May. My new contract took effect 15 AUG and the first half of my bonus hit my account within a few days of that date. The second half was due to hit on or around my anniversary date this year, but I took a job as a miltech and had to forfeit it.

I think you're talking about reserves. Active duty bonuses are paid differently

Actually, I reenlisted one of my NCOs. The magic happens once the reenlistment officer signs off on this. It is then processed and, from what I saw, within the 30 days of the signature.

My new contract started 08may2020, I have not received the bonus yet (90 day mark) The last bonus (6 yrs ago) was in my account by the 15 -30 day mark. I had to talk to my AGR, retention NCO, RPAC, and my S1, and i was told to wait until 1 Sept and then start another action.
