Why did I get paid 1 cent? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/why-did-i-get-paid-1-cent <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I received a payment of 1 cent from the Army National Guard. I understand some financial institutions will deposit a low amount like this into someone’s account for verification purposes. But I don’t think that’s the case this time.

Did you contact your NCOs? Without seeing your LES no one here can give you a clear answer. All we here can do is assume you have a serious debt you are needing to pay back.

End of month is basically here. A 0.01 deposit to make sure the bank works ESPECIALLY if you just changed/updated/started a direct deposit.

I was always confused because it cost them more to send the LES than to make the small adjustment.

We didn&#39;t take classes from Nancy Drew, what were the entitlements and the deductions?

Everyone has to keep legal books. Retaining your penny would be a violation. Thank you for your service.
