September Cases

Do you know if the VA finalizes your claim once you start terminal (and upload DD214), or is it once you EAS and officially retire?
It’s once you submit your DD214 when you start terminal leave. You should submit it the day you get it since it can take a while to process
 
I made an edit in one my previous posts.

I am trying to take the 20 days of PTAD, I even asked MMSR-4 to generate the new EAS for just that, since I was planning on selling on my leave
I thought they only gave you 26 days, didn't know it could be that far out, I don't wanna stay here
 
I thought they close your case when you do your exit interview with your va rep, my va claim is closed already, and you receive your first payment 45 days after your EAS?
Well idk all I know is they have to have your DD214 before they finazlie. And they can’t pay till you are a veteran. Said 30-45 days after you should see payment
 
If you EAS/retire on April 15, your effective date is April 16. VA pay entitlement starts on the first day of the next month, so May 1. VA pay is in arrears, so first payment would be June 1. That's how you get the roughly 45 days. If EAS was April 1, payment would still be June 1 which would be 60 days after EAS. If EAS was April 30, payment would also still work out to June 1 which would be 30 days after EAS. 30-60 days is the window (assuming DD-214 is uploaded to VA.gov and verified quickly), so 45 days is usually a good estimate.

Perfect explanation right here!
 
Anyone know when the JDETS come out for usmc this month?
I’d imagine they had one out last week. And maybe they will have one today. Most of the time they get one every week. But sometimes the PEB doesn’t push one. I know that doesn’t really answer your question. I haven’t been paying attention since I signed my findings
