In-Processing finance will be conducted at the Transition Point. Soldiers will be required to complete the following paperwork at a minimum in order to be entered into the pay system. Please have forms complete prior to reporting to in-processing:
Family Separation Allowance-II(FSA-II) $100.00 per month is paid for 30 or more days of separation as a result of a call to temporary duty. Personnel authorized are: married service members; service members married to service members who were living together immediately before deployment; and single service members with a primary dependent. If you are eligible, fill out DD Form 1561 (electronic version is not legible, please print this form to view text) and send it to your paying agency.
Officer Uniform Allowance - Officers who have been mobilized and on duty at least 90 consecutive days will be authorized a uniform allowance of $200.00. No record of receipt of this allowance within the last two years will determine eligibility. Complete USARC Form 30-R and fax to SFC Pipkin at (202) 761-5700.
Enlisted Uniform Allowance - Enlisted soldiers who are mobilized are not eligible to receive a uniform allowance until they have served 365 consecutive days on active duty. At the end of the 365 days soldiers are allowed 50% of the authorized uniform allowance. Authorized Basic Male Allowance $284.40/Authorized/Basic Female Allowance $342.00). Solider can request payment via a pay inquiry (DA Form 2142) through their local Finance & Accounting Office. Reference: DOD Financial Management Regulation Volume 7A Chapter 29.
LEAVE AND EARNINGS STATEMENT (LES)
Reserve soldiers will remain on the Reserve Pay System during their tours of duty. Active duty time for reservists will be reflected on your LES as "ADT". This is not a mistake, the Reserve Pay System is not designed to process "AD" pay and will not track it as such. This will not change until the pay systems are merged.
Also be aware that individual leave accrual will not be annotated on a reservist's LES. Soldiers are required to process leave forms for approval through their chain of command at their assigned units. The Military Personnel Officer/Representative at each unit will log all leave forms with a control number and provide copies to the Reserve Pay Office. Commanders will be required to validate all leave soldiers have taken during their tours by annotating dates leave was taken and signing the Leave Verification Form. Soldiers will provide this form to the finance office when outprocessing.
