If I understand your question correctly...
ETS Date: 21AUG2024
Post-ETS VA Claims Closed: 17SEP2024
First VA Paycheck: 27SEP2024
My understanding is that your final pay/severance runs in conjunction with your VA ratings being finalized, and therefore, also your first VA paycheck.
I hope...
I've heard it both ways, so I suppose we'll see in a few days! Close friend of mine started receiving his VA payments right on schedule, even with severance pay, so that may not be entirely correct.
I'm really not sure? It all just moved so fast. If I remember correctly, I received my orders via email from my retirement services office, along with my DD-214 signing date.
