Question
I was recently separated from the Air Force. Its been almost a month and I still haven't received my last paycheck? My question is does it usually take this long? Or should I contact somebody because there might be something wrong?

Answer
Hello Jessica,
O.K. Here is a question what type of conditions was it under?  Was it Honorable, Under Honorable Conditions, Under Other than honorable conditions (This is not a good one), or just an ELS Less than 180 days of service? You should have received your pay by now, your best bet is to contact your admin personnel and ask them why you haven't received your pay yet. I hope that this information helps.
Thanks,
Eric
