How long is your pay held after separation? I've been out a week and while I have a savings, I'm getting a little worried. Is this common?

Thank you to the people that actually answered my questions.

Should be 30 days

No. I did know that they would hold my pay. I'm just asking people how long they waited. Thanks.

Hunt the good stuff, lets reword " I'm inpatient and did not read the fine print"

Answer: until they are done.
Your entire account between you and Uncle Sam goes in for audit, to ensure they don't owe you and you don't owe them and over pay, then take it back etc.

The fact that you had a debt complicated it. Would have been faster to pay CIF with a cash collection voucher. I realize that may or may not have been possible for you personally at the time. Was it tied up in a FLIPL? That could really stymie things. 75 days is the regulatory length of a FLIPL, which can, and does get extended by the Appointing Authority.

If nothing is wrong 30-45 days is normal. US Army and I were "even" and it took 30 days after we said goodbye after 22 years of TDY vouchers, over a dozen PCSs, deployments, and one particularly nasty year long BAH fight about who did or didn't in process Ft Campbell with CPL Owens, 36B, who refused to let me make copies of anything....
