When do you receive separation pay?

When entitled to seperation pay when do you receive it and how long does it take to get it. I can't seem to find a straight answer here. I have 50 days of leave I'm iusinf I've seen answers saying after your actual ETS date and I've seen a few business days after your final out.

I received my pay for the leave I sold within a few weeks of finaling out. I know of a few people that it was after only days and others where it was a bit longer. Really depends on getting the paperwork right the first time and hoping that your dfas office isn't a bunch of shitbirds

You receive your regular pay while on terminal leave. If you take at least 10 days of leave prior to separation, and do not have an outstanding debts or pay discrepancies, then you receive 100% of your final pay on your DOS (date of separation/ETS date). If you do not take leave or have discrepancies in your entitlements, you get 80% of your final pay and the remaining 20% at 20 days post DOS.

Normally it's included in your last pay as you sign out.

It has been 19 days and still haven’t received a penny from my Seperation pay or the leave days I sold. Who do I contact to get updated information on the status of my pay?
