BRS includes a Continuation Pay provision as a way to encourage Service members to continue serving in the Uniformed Services. Continuation Pay is a <br /> direct cash payout, like a bonus. It is payable between the completion of eight years of service, but before completion of 12 years of service, as determined <br /> and announced by your Service. Members receive Continuation Pay in return for additional obligated service. Active component service members<br /> (including Active Guard Reserve (AGR) and Full Time Support (FTS)) enrolled in the BRS will be eligible for a cash incentive of 2.5 to 13 times their regular <br /> monthly basic pay. Reserve Component members will be eligible for 0.5 to 6 times their monthly basic pay (as if serving on active duty). Each service will <br />publish guidance related to Continuation Pay rates. The rates for each calendar year will be determined by the retention needs of the Military Services and<br /> published.Response by SFC Michael Hasbun made Jun 24 at 2022 4:59 PM2022-06-24T16:59:51-04:002022-06-24T16:59:51-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member7742955<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Most pays take about a month. It's really a matter of when does the DFAS technician get around to processing your case, not how long does it take.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 24 at 2022 5:29 PM2022-06-24T17:29:15-04:002022-06-24T17:29:15-04:002022-06-24T16:54:56-04:00
