Question about final pay audit?

I retire from the Army this Apr 2020, with 34 years of service. My final pay came back saying it was a no pay due but it should have been 7K. Come to find out, my finance admitted to the error on their end and submitted a case number to DFAS to correct. I’ve called DFAS multiple times (8) for a status and was told nothing other than we are working it. They also confirmed the error was not on my part. A few of my peers retired shortly after I did and have received their final pay. While I planned accordingly and my finances are in order. It’s the principles of being punished for something or an error not caused by me. Its, been 8 months thus far with no end in sight. I’m told veteran can’t sue DFAS, so that’s out. Guess the hurry up and wait still applies.

Thanks for listening,

John

Regardless Uncle Sam will got the money, even if they have to turn it over to the IRS for collection.

I'm just guessing, but I would wager AGR will attach that debt to your final check. even if they don't, you'll still be on the hook for it.
