The month of April we should be good. It's the month of May we may not get paid.

 

according to an article on military.com, in the event congress/the president doesn't get their act together and balance the budget. we will be looking at only getting 1 weeks worth of pay for the month of April come the 15th.

What I want to know is, will we (the military) be allowed to tell the bill collectors I need to give you an IOU? Or will they try and pull that crap that its my responsibility to make sure my bills are paid on time? and then decide to tack on late fees.

 

I'm not military but I am Federal and I haven't seen any wording about milpers/civpers being able to tell bill collectors the retroactive pay is justifiable cause for an IOU. Personally, I feel it is everyone's individual responsibility to ensure continuity of funds and bill paying for a reasonable time in the event of job loss or injury where work is affected. I think if you were to find yourself in a situation where a bill goes unpaid, the best option is to work out an agreement with the service provider or creditor on an individual basis. I would think most banks and entities have the flexibility to delay fees on delinquencies but it is probably on a case-by-case basis.

 

heres the email i got:

Due to the possibility of the Continuing Resolution expiring, we paid you for
service performed through April 8. The debt showing on your record is for the
amount due you for 9-15 April which will be paid as soon as authorization is
received from Congress. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Some banks will pay us the full amount no matter what. I just hope my bank does. $700 paycheck on apr 15. Nice considering just my rent is $2040 and with having to buy Premium for my sweet *** Suby that like $400 every two weeks!

 

$400 every two weeks???
How mcuh is the gas you are buying? I pay about $200 every two weeks.

Both of those Priced combined are a little less than your paycheck.

LOL my $400 was just an over exaduration, one leaning at the fact that our turbo subies are gas guzzlers!

 

Layoff the boost and you'll save gas. I know I know easier said then done.

 

We getting PAID.... Now I can spent more money on my POS!!!

 

Just trade it to me for my 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara.!

 

Ur 2008 suzuki is probably not even worth as much as his rims. Ok ok maybe his rims but def not his interior. Hahahaha. J/p lol

 

^^^amen!!!

 

Is it half pay or full pay???????

 

Id say its not worth even looking under his hood. I talking I cant even use it to convince him that I am worthy for him to pull the hood lever and lemme peek. His is is that crazy. But at the same time if he wants a family car then needs overtake cost
