My husband is in the Army National Guard. He just completed his 1 year tour in Egypt. While over there, in January, he signed his reenlistment and promotion papers. This entitles us to Dec, Jan, Feb and March back pay for the difference of an E4 to an E5 payscale. We were also entitled to a sign on bonus of $7000, which would be taxed at first but then the tax would be refunded. We got the $5000 or so in Feb. Also, his hostile fire pay was screwed up all year, and they still owe us at least two HF paychecks.
It is now almost June, and we haven't recieved anything except the taxed bonus. His unit is preparing for most of them to deploy to Iraq in June, so I know they must be busy, but what about us? Should we wait until the unit leaves to ask about his pay? Or should we ask now? We have called the finance department several times with no reply.
Is it true if we wait too long to ask about it they have no obligation to pay him??
