Looking for information on the upcoming paycheck? Find details at When Is The Next Military Payday?
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.
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

7 April 2017 at 1:42 pmThanks 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
Tiffany says
12 May 2017 at 9:01 amIt 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.
Kate Horrell says
16 May 2017 at 9:48 amTiffany, 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.
James Walling says
23 May 2019 at 2:41 pmKate, something tells me should not expect our direct deposits on the 28th of June. This is After the Holiday, the remembering of Brothers and sister, it is also mid week and there are 31 days in May.
Kate Horrell says
27 May 2019 at 9:51 amI’m not sure why you think that USAA will not be making pay deposits on 28 June. The official policy of USAA is to credit military pay “one business day prior to the actual military payday.” The actual June end-of-month military payday is Monday, 1 July. The business day prior to Monday, 1 July is Friday, 28 June.
If you were talking about the May end-of-month pay deposit, that information is also correct. As 1 June is on a Saturday, the actual military payday is Friday, 31 May. The business day prior to Friday, 31 May is Thursday, 30 May – that’s when USAA should deposit the May end-of-month paychecks. Being the middle of the week or during the week after Memorial Day is irrelevant.
If you don’t have confidence in my list, you are welcome to use the list at USAA itself: https://communities.usaa.com/t5/Money-Matters/2019-Military-Pay-Deposit-Dates/ba-p/198947

Anissa Proctor says
13 May 2017 at 7:15 amNo payment May 12th or 13th so far. 🙁
Kate Horrell says
15 May 2017 at 8:10 amAnissa, 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.
Andrea lee says
30 October 2017 at 11:26 amIs there a chart for the va disability pay dates or is it all the same
Kaci says
30 January 2018 at 6:35 amIt’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
Kate Horrell says
30 January 2018 at 6:54 amKaci – thanks for letting me know. Can you tell me where exactly? I’m not seeing it. Thank you!
Seth says
22 February 2018 at 5:16 pm93 April is the only thing I see wrong.
Amanda Rooks says
26 February 2018 at 9:38 amI’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.
Nay says
31 May 2018 at 5:17 amYour USAA pay date for mid month June is wrong, you have the 30th instead of the 14th
Rick says
14 March 2019 at 10:09 amIt’s there, look at the charts at the bottom. (Listed chart and color chart.) Also, Go Hawks.
Shaina says
1 June 2018 at 6:33 pmHey! Just mentioning you have June’s mid month payday as June 30th.
Elizabeth says
31 July 2018 at 5:52 amNo 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!
Kate Horrell says
31 July 2018 at 11:11 amElizabeth, hope your pay showed up. It an be any time during the day 🙂
Larisa says
22 September 2018 at 6:29 pmWill you be doing 2019 soon?
Kate Horrell says
23 September 2018 at 8:48 amProbably mid-October to early November? Do you need some specific information sooner?
Larisa says
23 September 2018 at 5:55 pmNo, 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!
Shannon says
18 December 2018 at 11:55 amThank you for doing these! Just printed the 2019 version!
Kate Horrell says
18 December 2018 at 2:53 pmPlease let me know if (when) you find a mistake! I feel so confident that they’re 100% right this year, but I thought that last year, too 🙂
Allysun Gutierrez says
25 December 2018 at 9:01 pmGood evening! I have a question about this week.
Since we have USAA does that mean we get paid this Friday, Dec 28th? Because everyone else gets paid on the 31st?
VA benifit Recepient says
26 December 2018 at 3:16 pmI just stumbled upon your site, surfed the usaa pay anticipated schedule. Great stuff! Great work! I see there is more yet to look through;)
Bille says
26 December 2018 at 6:24 pmSince the first and the 31st are considered holidays would we get paid Friday the 28th?
Kate Horrell says
27 December 2018 at 10:45 amBille, the 31st is not a holiday.
Seth says
28 December 2018 at 2:22 amAwesome work! Thanks for the dedication making this! It removes alot of awkward phone calls to supervisors for 24/7 shift workers, thanks!!
Sarah says
26 March 2019 at 3:11 pmDid you see that the USAA website has March 28th, 2019 as the April 1st pay date?
Kate Horrell says
27 March 2019 at 8:10 amSarah – that’s crazy! I’ve emailed my USAA people to find out what’s up! Thanks for pointing that out 🙂
Hali A Little says
27 March 2019 at 11:54 amI think the end month March date is incorrect
Kate Horrell says
27 March 2019 at 5:26 pmI have one of my USAA contacts looking into it, because I think *their* calendar is incorrect. I’m waiting for a response 🙂
Zondra Aimes says
28 March 2019 at 8:45 amGood morning, have you found out? Obviously it’s the 28th and I don’t have my direct deposit. I’m sure they meant tomorrow, March 29, 2019.
Kate Horrell says
28 March 2019 at 9:01 amZondra – USAA’s website now says that the early direct deposit day is tomorrow. I hope you weren’t counting on that money!
Zondra Aimes says
28 March 2019 at 9:27 amThank you so much for your quick response. No, I manage my money correctly, thankfully I didn’t need the deposit today. I pretty much knew it had to be the 29th. Or maybe USAA was being generous.. Not!!!!
Hali A Little says
27 March 2019 at 7:42 pmThank you. This is awesome! I always look at these
PNWCorvus says
28 March 2019 at 7:39 amHi Kate! Did you hear back from your USAA source? I’m thinking USAA flubbed. 🙂
Kate Horrell says
28 March 2019 at 8:59 amI got a quick note saying that they’re “looking in to it.” I think you’re right 🙂
Brandon says
28 March 2019 at 8:30 amHi Kate! I’m seeing some charts that say March 28th as the USAA day or deposit and others that are the 29th. Could you please clarify which is correct? Thanks so much.
Kate Horrell says
28 March 2019 at 9:00 amBrandon – I just looked at USAA has changed their webpage. The information here is correct. Thanks for asking!
Rebecca says
12 April 2019 at 5:04 amLooks like the same issue for April…I’ve seen calendars that say 12 Apr and 13 Apr, which is strange given the latter is a Saturday. Today is the 12th and there was no pay in my account this morning.
Kate Horrell says
12 April 2019 at 7:46 amHi Rebecca, You’re right – it seems like there was also a mistake on this payday. But rest assured, pay should come in today. It can come at any time across the day. I know people get used to it being deposited early in the day, but that’s not guaranteed and sometimes it doesn’t happen until later. I hope that helps.
Raven B says
25 July 2019 at 7:19 amI notice that the month of August lists only 30 days, when it’s a 31 day month …. can you update/revise? 🙂
Kate Horrell says
25 July 2019 at 4:16 pmI could, but I won’t. It doesn’t affect the readability or accurateness of the pay schedule listed. It seems a better use of my time to continue to research and teach about the many topics that still need to be covered.
