For some reason my newest Solider didn't get his base pay for 3 months while attending an ASI school here at Fort Sam. At the 4th month of class he started getting his money. Does anyone know the appropriate form to fill out and hand into the finance office? I believe that form to be DD Form 827, “application for arrears in pay”.

Just submit a pay inquiry with LES showing no pay and take it to finance. That will likely be the quicker solution.

I asked him to collect all his LES papers for the last 9 months which should cover him from before he went to school to the present.

No one at the ASI school looked into why the Soldier wasn't getting paid?

DS told him to contact the finance office but couldn't do it for him while he was in class.

SCPO Jason McLaughlin financial hardship should have been the red flag.

MSG (Join to see) - The fact that the Soldier passed the ASI school despite having those financial hardships is a credit to his resiliency. I think SGT(P) should address the lack of urgency the DS had in handling the situation with his COC, so they can address it with the ASI School COC. Military life is difficult enough, the thought of going without pay for 3 months is ridiculous. I wonder what would of happened if the CSM of the ASI School didn't receive ONE paycheck on the 1st?

IIRC, DD Form 827 is used if you have been out of the military for over a year and believe they owe you money. was he getting paid prior to starting the school? is he reserve or guard? never heard of anyone not getting paid for 3 months and then suddenly start getting paid. very odd indeed. best bet is to contact DFAS directly for guidance.

He is AD and was getting paid prior to the school starting. He came over from FT Hood.

SSG(P) (Join to see) - that is very odd indeed. Someone somewhere had to put in the action to stop his pay for 3 months.
