Curious when you’ll see this next paycheck in your account? See When Is The Next Military Payday? for more information.
As a benefit to their military customers, USAA credits anticipated military pay one business day prior to the actual payday, provided they receive the pay deposit information from the appropriate finance agency.
Each year has a couple of longer pay periods, and sometimes that early crediting can create longer pay periods. For 2018, USAA customers should be aware of the following longer stretches between pay deposits:
- January 2018 second half of month pay period: 20 days, from 11 January to 31 January
- April 2018 second half of the month pay period: 18 days, from 12 April to 30 April
- July 2018 second half of the month pay period: 19 days, from 12 July to 31 July
- October 2018 second half of the month pay period: 19 days, from 12 October to 31 October
Here are the calendars and list in PDF, Microsoft Word and Google Docs formats so that you can print these out and add them to your bulletin board or planner. (You can shrink it if you use a smaller planner like I do.) If you use the Google Doc, you will have to make your own copy by clicking on “File” and selecting “Make a copy.”
If you’re happy banking with USAA’s banking services, you might also like their renters insurance – it covers your stuff for as low as $12 a month.

Thanks for your hard work on this. This information used to be only found after hours on the phone talking to supervisor after supervisor and being bounced back and forth between the bank and DFAC
It should be noted that occasionally (rarely – but it does happen), someone in the pay dept. in the military goes home or on vacation without hitting that “send” button and pay doesn’t show up early. It has never ever failed to be posted on the actually military pay date when that happens. But in the last several years I think it has happened 2 or 3 times. Actually happened today. I was surprised when I checked the bank and the pay wasn’t there. I am sure it will be there on Monday. But usually what happens is they scramble at the finance office and say that members won’t allowed to be paid a day early any more. A memo gets sent out. And then next time it is business as usual and the day early pay continues at USAA. Why we get paid early at USAA (and some other banking institutions) is that the pay department actually sends the payroll out about 24 hours before payday. This is so the banks have it in their coffers to give/release on the correct business day. Most banks hold it until the actual payday (1st/ 15th). But a few (USAA included) have a policy that once they have it – they allow us access to it, citing that it is our money after all.
Tiffany, just so you don’t have mis-information: Financial institutions do not receive actual payroll funds in advance of the actual payday. They receive the information regarding the deposit early. The banks that offer early direct deposit are basically making a mini-loan of the funds that they’ll receive in the future. Then the actual pay funds are transferred to the financial institution on the actual payday.
It is USAA’s policy to credit military pay funds before payday provided they receive the information from the appropriate finance office. There are times when they do not receive this information in time to process it prior to the actual payday, as you’ve noted.
No payment May 12th or 13th so far. 🙁
Anissa, have you checked your mid-month net pay advice statement on myPay? You should verify that there is pay due, and that the bank account information is correct.
Is there a chart for the va disability pay dates or is it all the same
It’s not a big deal because you’ve done an amazing job on the calendar and website, but the dates are wrong on the month of April
Kaci – thanks for letting me know. Can you tell me where exactly? I’m not seeing it. Thank you!
93 April is the only thing I see wrong.
I’d like to say thank you. We are va paid, so our pay follows the active duties 1st of the month pay day. I run all our pay says and how many meals I have to buy based on your calendar, it’s never let me down. Thank you very much.
Your USAA pay date for mid month June is wrong, you have the 30th instead of the 14th
Hey! Just mentioning you have June’s mid month payday as June 30th.
No pay so far today, July 31. Between summer and vacations, I’ve been counting my pennies to get to today! I really hope they get that pay through. Our First Command allotments were available Friday!
Elizabeth, hope your pay showed up. It an be any time during the day 🙂
