I’ve had lots of lovely requests looking for the 2019 USAA pay deposit calendars. Y’all are so organized! I’ve added 2019 to the bottom of this post, and then I’ll delete 2018 when the year ends. As always, please let me know when you see errors in the calendars. There is always at least one. (But seriously, if you tell me you can’t figure out that 93 April is the 3rd of April when it is between the 2nd of April and the 4th of April, I might not respond. But I’ll still love you.)
USAA is the most popular bank for military service members. 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.”

The 2019 USAA Pay Calendars
For your planning pleasure, I present the 2019 USAA pay deposit date calendars. For each option, you can either:
- Click on the image to make it larger, then save it to your computer, and print it.
- Save the PDF copy and print it.
- Save the word copy and print it.
I’ve eliminated the Google Docs version this year because people were confused by the “make a copy” directions and that was causing frustration. If you want it in Google Doc, let me know I’ll do it just for you! (Email me at kate at katehorrell.com)
Because of the way weekends and holidays work, every year has a couple of very long pay periods in it. They’re a lot easier to manage if you are prepared for them. If you get paid one business day early with USAA, here are your long pay periods for 2019:
April end-of-month, from 12 April to 30 April – 18 days
July end-of-month, from 12 July to 31 July – 19 days
September end-of-month, from 12 September to 30 September – 18 days
October end-of-month, from 11 October to 31 October – 20 days
December end-of-month, from 12 December to 31 December – 19 days

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 🙂
Will you be doing 2019 soon?
Probably mid-October to early November? Do you need some specific information sooner?
No, I was just doing my 6 month budget and was curious. I can wait! Thanks for doing this by the way— it’s VERY helpful!
