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 2021 USAA Pay Calendars

For my planners, I present the 2021 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 from previous years 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 221 :

March 2021 end-of-month, from 12 March to 31 March – 19 days

August 2021 end-of-month, from 12 August to 31 August – 18 days

November 2021 end-of-month, from 12 November to 30 November  – 18 days

As always, please let me know if you have technical difficulties or think you spot an error. No matter how many times they are proof-read, something always gets through!

    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.

        Kate, 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.

          I’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, 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.

    Since we have USAA does that mean we get paid this Friday, Dec 28th? Because everyone else gets paid on the 31st?

      Hi 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.
