I decide to send all the forms required by mail two days after it was posted. Today on the 11 of dec. i received a $50 check, i was stoplossed for over 10 months. Thats $5 dollars a month not $500. Anyone know any thing else.

og on November 20th, 2009 5:28 pm posed above that he submitted exactly we we did for my husband and has received the same reply… Funny enough on the same dates Nov 9th and 18th…

I am thinking (hoping) that payments will be like normal LES and be issued on the 1st and 15th after they have been sent over to DFAS…

Hey one can only hope – and since I have requested direct deposit and my husband is no longer in the military I await the third – that would be the the first + 2 days for my bank to process…… I’ll keep you posted…. but I’m not spending the mortgage money on Christmas just yet… Hey I know how military processes “work” ….

a copy of your DD-Form 4 can be aquired at the HRC website, you need to log in with your AKO login. They have issued out more then 2000 checks so far, as of 2 weeks ago. I hvae yet to get mine(for an 18month period). If you reenlisted the process will take longer because they have to dig to find it on thier own end. you actually don’t have to turn in any information at all, but the process will take longer then the rest. Their is only one person at the other end of that Email address given, think any of you can reply to 100,000+ Emails quickly? people should write thier senetor’s and congressmen to make the different military organizations start an automated claim status website.

I submitted my stop-loss claim on 09 NOV and received an email containing the following on 18 NOV:

“Your claim has been checked against the Official Military Personnel File (OMPF), your claim has been approved and will be forwarded to DFAS for payment.”

I was in the Army Reserve when I was on stop-loss. The dates I claimed were the day after my ETS until the end of my paid leave that I used up after we de-mobilized. My DD Form 214 did not show that I was stop-lossed nor did it say anything about being held for X-amount of days after my ETS. I did not have any order, nor do I remember ever having an order, that specifically stated I was under stop-loss orders. The forms I submitted were DD Form 4 (reenlistment contract showing when my ETS should have been) and my DD Form 214.

I haven’t received my payment yet. But it sounds like this went much smoother for me than it has for others. I hope this helps somebody out there and I sincerely hope those that deserve this payment get every cent of it.

I applied when the site first opened and yesterday got an email that said I was not on the “stop loss master list” (no such list) and my records would have to be verified with my OMPF, which is funny because I sent them an original enlistment contract with my ets date and then a reenlistment contract starting several months later. All info they asked for on the site and all info thats on my OMPF. Why even ask me to waste my time uploading files. This whole process is a joke so far.

I asked a friend at MOAA – Sue Hoppin – who writes the Spouse Blog. She contacted the Military Pay guy – who had just written this piece. I’m sorry, with everything else going on, I didn’t post it here.

Unfortunately, there isn’t any word of how to check status and how long it is taking. We are going to keep checking. As soon as we hear anything at all, we’ll post it.

I am experiencing the same problem. Since the intial e-mail stating they received my claim, I haven’t heard a word… I tried e-mailing the address provided twice and have had no responses. It would be nice to know the status of my claim.

I have also sent the information and have not heard anything, tried to access the “special web site” they set up from several different computers with no luck. I am also trying to find out how you can check the status.
