How can I get my Finance problems with BAH and BAS resolved while in BLC?

Long story short- I got hitched back in September of 2020. It’s about to be December, and I still haven’t received any BAH or BAS. When I last checked with my unit about it they said finance had my packet, and that’s it. I can’t really do any progress on it as of late (Such as calling or ect.) because I’m currently in BLC. Can anyone help?

Your S1 probably lost it. I turned everything in to finance myself. It was just a 4187 to receive BAS and a 5960 for BAH. I’d just fill them out again and submit them to finance. Make sure you always make copies for your own records because if it’s important it’ll get lost by someone else.

See your BLC leadership about going to AER. This is exactly why they exist.

I hate to say it, but SSG Private RallyPoint Member is probably correct. When BLC finishes go straight to Division or Corps finance and submit it yourself.

For Fort Bragg the BAH packet consits of the 5960, 4187 to stop meal deduction, marriage cert, and barracks close out memo.
Resubmit to S1 and ask your 1SG to attach the packet as a correction on the UCFR. When you resubmit to S1 do a DA200, it is basically a hand reciept for paperwork. It wont stop them from losing it, but it can be used to force accountability in the shop.
