Do you have to wait to PCS from TRADOC to receive your reenlistment bonus?

I recently graduated AIT as a MOS-T and am due to receive a bonus. I'm being told here that I can't receive my bonus until I leave here but I may be stuck here for a few months due to issues with orders and I've already been awarded the MOS so from my understanding I should be eligible to receive it. If anyone could give me the regulation for or against me I'd really appreciate it.

The terms are laid out on your contract addendum. What does it say?

Like others have said you will not receive your bonus until your S1 has process your bonus. Now does that mean that you can't receive your bonus after gaining your MOS qualification? Absolutely not.. but chances are the S1 there will not process your paperwork and you will have to wait until you in process into your new unit. Once you in process to your new unit ensure that you have all of the correct documentation. If you do not simply see your battalion current counselor and s/he should be able to square you away
