2012 Military Pay Dates
The following table reflects the DFAS schedule of active-duty pay dates through 2012. This information may help to avoid any confusion as to when you should expect to see the payment deposited to your account.
Note: Each servicemember has the option of receiving his or her pay one or two times a month. If they select to receive their pay twice a month they will receive semi-monthly pay on the 15th of each month - if the 1st or 15th falls on Saturday or Sunday, payday is the Friday before.
