Will my ERB automatically reflect promotion from E3 to E4 at 24 months, even though I am flagged?

I am an E3 with 35 months TIS and 23 months TIG. I have been flagged for the passed 8 months and will hit my 2 years TIG next month. I saw online it is required for PFC to SPC promotion once you hit 24 months TIG. Even tho I’m flagged and I know I probably won’t be pinned when I hit 24 months, was wondering if it will change in my ERB since it says it is a required promotion, even if I’m flagged. Wondering because financially struggling a bit and want to know if I will be getting the pay raise next month

No, you cannot be promoted while you are flagged, that's why a flag is known as a suspension of favorable actions. Once you recover from your flag you will be promoted.. You can find all the references in AR 600-8-19

SFC (Join to see) and MSG (Join to see) both answered greatly. I don't know why this has been popping up so much lately. Promoting form PFC to SPC is not "automatic".
It is almost always a circle yes, but the commander has to circle yes or no for anyone coming up on the requirements met. With you being flagged, you will be circled no until it is lifted and the issues resolved.
For just pay, you will receive the 2-year pay bump which may help your struggles.

One way to avoid having financial struggles is to not be flagged for 8 months. It only becomes an emergency when your going broke? How about not doing whatever it is you did to be flagged? Or if you are flagged, correct whatever it was in less than 8 months? Smh!!!!

Everything is just so much easier in the Army without a flag. Just do the right thing and its the easiest job in the world. It takes more effort to screw something up than to just do what your told, and be where your supposed to be when your supposed to be there. My goodness!!!!
