Is there any way to get my LESs from finance or somewhere else other than DFAS?

So I retired a couple of months ago. I am closing on a home but I am being held up because I don't have my LESs from the last 8 months I was on active duty. I put in the request to DFAS 411 and they told me it would take up to 30 days. Is there anyway to get my LESs from finance or somewhere else? Yes I realize I should've downloaded them before I left active duty, I'm already tracking I suck because of that.

What is the problem with DFAS? Although retired, I can log in and get copies of LES and tax documents anytime. And, no, there is no option other than DFAS to get these documents elsewhere. Set up an account and get them immediately.

I'm assuming you've already tried online and they have already switched your account to a retirement one correct?

I would ask the lender if they would accept a copy of last years income tax form. That plus your DD214 to see no disciplinary action since..........should be enough of an alternatiive.

DFAS and MyPay are the only ways to get your LES. Even if you go to finance, they just request it from DFAS.

When I bought a house, I did not have to give 8 months of LESs. I financed through USAA. I also had my pay sent there. They gave me my mortgage. Maybe if you financed through your bank that gets your pay check every month it would be easier?

SSG Private RallyPoint Member I had a similar issue. What I was able to provide, and they accepted at the closing, were my actual bank statements. I simply printed out and highlighted each months pay deposit for as many months as they required. Ask your realtor if they’d accept the same at your closing.

Best of luck
