Did anyone else see this on their website?

Federal Government Shutdown

That has me wondering if the mid-month pay is really as "safe" as we have been led to believe. 

HappyandLoud --- 11 years ago -

Attention: We are aware the President has signed the "Pay Our Military Act."
We are awaiting further guidance from the Department of Defense to ensure we accurately implement all elements of the Act. We will update you with additional information as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.



This is what they posted on their Facebook page earlier..

was very sketchy and they had no responses to any questions anyone asked they went MIA after this posting..


but the law that was passed said all military pay and allowances will be paid .



still very worried.. 

HappyandLoud --- 11 years ago -

same thing in other words I ment lol, very annoying and not trustworthy the LES comes out Tuesdays so we shall see then.. 

Megan LeeAnne --- 11 years ago -

My husband said that was there beforehand and pay is still guaranteed for military personal. 

Megan LeeAnne --- 11 years ago -

The only thing that was put on their page today was the "we are aware" part. 

HappyandLoud --- 11 years ago -

This was updated on OCT 4th, aka today... and posted on their FB today. 

Megan LeeAnne --- 11 years ago -

Read above comment 

HappyandLoud --- 11 years ago -

So they are not saying yes or no, its very much so a maybe they have to get in by tuesday if they dont oh well.. 

Megan LeeAnne --- 11 years ago -

Everything else was previously there. 

HappyandLoud --- 11 years ago -

THE POINT IS.. its been there doesnt assure that IT IS going to happen AKA be PAID...omgoodness..

so if THEY ARE STILL saying this and posting to their FB as off today with the SAME information, doesnt mean that WE ARE getting paid...

IF WE WERE why would they post something like this ? explain please ? 

HappyandLoud --- 11 years ago -

and yes on the we are** part is new that doesnt make it any more assuring.. that makes it worse that they are working on it** and wont guarentee anything, because if it was no issue they would say yes you are getting paid..

are they ?
no? 

Your Mom --- 11 years ago -

Well if they do piss of enough us soldiers we will have a civil war, followed by NWO 

MOproblems --- 11 years ago -

If y'all don't get paid .....you can come stand with me. Calmly and peaceful.

Your Mom --- 11 years ago -

no thanks 

Megan LeeAnne --- 11 years ago -

I'll go by the law that was set saying they're getting paid. The only thing they ever posted AFTER the bill happened was that they are now aware of the bill. Everything else was posted before...including on their facebook....that is what I was saying. 

Merktdawg072 --- 11 years ago -

I understand what you're saying Megan, but the way I'm reading it is that while they are aware of the new bill there are still some things that need to be worked out in order for them to release their pay. Am I the only one taking it that way?

I really didn't mean to start a debate here. This is exactly how I took it too Merktdawg. I know there is a date (I don't know offhand what it is) that they have to process certain things for money to hit people's accounts by the 15th. This concerns me because most of the media is portraying the signing of the law to mean that pay will be there on time, on the 15th. We will be ok if that doesn't happen, but many others are not so fortunate. I am now afraid for them because if they're feeling "safe" they might not have been as thrifty and smart with the pay they just received as they could've been! 

Merktdawg072 --- 11 years ago -

They start processing pay between the 5-9th I believe. I have tried to be thrifty but our luck would have it that our pay was short...not 100% why. It was short by ALOT so it was as if we missed a check. We've had a freaking rough year so there is nothing to really fall back on. This is on so stressful. This is what I get for taking it only a threat, an empty threat. Every other year they are able to get their sh!t together, but the one year we can't afford to NOT get paid they rip the rug from underneath us! 

HappyandLoud --- 11 years ago -

It clearly says that they are still working things out, it doesnt say hey we are aware of the law and you ARE getting paid, that doesnt say anywhere on their page, its CLEARLY stating a big OLD we are working it out..

they only have this weekend through tuesday to work it out when the LESs are coming out.. 

MOproblems --- 11 years ago -

Hold on....
MerketDawg did you guy's not get full pay? 

Msdiamond --- 11 years ago -

If you didn't get all your money on the 1st. You all might need to go to finance. 

HappyandLoud --- 11 years ago -

were talking about the 15th check thats coming up. 

Merktdawg072 --- 11 years ago -

No mo is being nosey about why my husband check was short. Obviously I would need to go to finance. It has nothing to do with the shut down. 

Megan LeeAnne --- 11 years ago -

Happy and loud you need to learn to read. I didn't say that it absolutely said we are getting paid. I'm going by the law that was set. It seems that if no one agrees with you and follows what you say, you don't like it. I said what we'll do...which is not worry about it. Act like an adult and just accept the fact that we have a difference in how to take it. 

mamarex --- 11 years ago -

See I thought the military were for sure getting paid.. at least our base pay and the confusion was about what furloughed DoD employees may be able to get paid. There is clearly no consensus about what passing this bill meant...with the idiots in congress that should be no surprise. Lol 

MOproblems --- 11 years ago -

I emailed an old political science professor......in short he said, from what Washington is saying at the MOMENT, and from history, he thinks active military will get paid. Now there was a lengthy and private

I emailed an old political science professor......in short he said, from what Washington is saying at the MOMENT, and from history, he thinks active military will get paid. Now there was a lengthy and private conversation as to why......but I'll say this, the worlds eyes are on this, we need paid military personal now more then ever. 

Maui Girl (Mod) --- 11 years ago -

the worlds eyes are on this

This could go one of two ways.

1) They pay our service members. Everyone goes home happy (until the next "we might not pay you guys, sorry" crisis). Or

2) They DON'T pay our service members. And then the world waits to see what our service members will DO about it.

That is along the lines of what the professor said.
