When a soldier has been over paid should finance be required to give soldiers a detailed description of what is owed for what and at what point how much money will be taken from their checks? I was overpaid BAH while I was an MOS-T in AIT, but I have no idea how much I owe or when they are going to be taking money. Last month my EOM was missing 200$ and my mid-month was normal. Then this month same thing. Will this happen next month as well? How hard would it be for finance to send out an email detailing when and what they are taking? Especially since I have no control over when they feel like overpaying me. I completed my paperwork upon arriving at my duty station, they did not. Why should I have to wonder what is happening with my money?

In Viet Nam I served with a 2nd LT that was mistakenly paid as a LTCOL. He tried to get it corrected, but the next pay was the same, and he tried again to get it corrected. After the third time he just got the excess put into the 10% savings plan, so that when he got back to the world and they found the error he would be able to cut them a check for the overage.
The 10% interest on the overage was his gravy. Sometimes the incompetence of others has a silver lining.

That has been my plan if I ever found the fortune of over payment. I was only over paid for one month though, so I can't earn any interest off of it. I'm sure that 2LT was fairly pleased with his savings at the end of the tour though!!

Finance will provide a detailed account of your pay. Simply submit a pay Inquiry to your unit S1 or human resources if you have a concern.

You should IMMEDIATELY, accompanied by your first line supervisor go to Finance...ACCOMPANIED by your First NCO Supervisor and sit down with the pay specialist. They will tell you and in most cases I ever saw, IF you take this step they will work out a payment plan with you.
