How long does it take to receive separation pay (ISP) after PSD states that DFAS has issued the payment?

So, i got out January 2019 due to HYT and my separation pay was requested. Long story short: I have been battling it out with everyone trying to get my pay. Finally after over a year of trying, PSD finally got back to me saying that DFAS issued my separation payment on the 27th of March 2020, a day after I gave it one last chance to see if they would ever pay me by filing a dfas trouble ticket (I have filed probably 4-8 tickets throughout this entire process throughout this). Now, my question is, how long after PSD saw that DFAS issued this payment to my checking account, will I actually see these funds in my account and available for spending (I have Navy Federal if that makes a difference)? It has been exactly 7 days since I got word that it was issued. PSD told me more than likely I would get that payment this week (this week just ended). Can anyone help me with this question and tell me how long it takes after they issue a payment does it take for that payment to finally be deposited and ready for use? Honestly I am just beyond happy and blessed that I actually finally get this entitled pay after almost giving up thinking the Navy doesn't even care and will never issue a payment (I was almost about to consult with a lawyer just to see what I needed to do or if I should just give up). To get it during this time with everything that is going on in the world, is truly a blessing. Thank you in advance for any help!

How do you know someone, such as PSD, isn't just blowing smoke to get you off their back? Depending on the amount, it may still have to go through some sort of audit before you see it deposited. I doubt it in your case, but you never know.

If you are able to get on DFAS to submit trouble tickets, you should be able to see that payment on DFAS also.

Make sure the account they have on file for you is the same as the one you are currently using
