Debt Payment?!?

[Pvt Dominguez]

My last two RSP Drill pay had tax deduction which is normal on any check, including SGLI. But they also had at the end of the statement a "Debt Payment" deduction, my question is why!? lol ...AM i like paying the countries debt? lol cause I dont owe anyone money including the Army. Ive never taken a loan out or anything. they've taken a total of 80 dollars in debt payment last two checks and its starting to hurt!

Is it possible that a creditor has a lein on your pay?

Maybe it was an unpaid bar tab at the enlisted club....Or maybe it was a prorated SGLI? I wonder if the SGLI starts when you first enlist, then they take out all the months of coverage in your first check?? Did you crunch the numbers?

Ya my recruiter told me the same thing about SGLI.. I joined 20081029 but did not get my first check till 20081201. I figured they charged me SGLI for the remaining days of October but I dont think thats the case, cause they charged me 30ish on first check and now 50 on this one.

Are you sure there was no unpaid bar tab??:eek:

[Pvt Dominguez]

lol im pretty sure, unless the recruiters are going out drinking with our info at hands :(

[Pvt Dominguez]

Cant be, all my debt were paid off prior to getting into the service... if thats the case who's the money going too?

[Recruiter yosis]

It could be anything. Talk to your rsp unit and get a pay inquiry.

I'd be willing to bet just about anything that the debt is for SGLI. It starts being taken out the day you join, so if you join on 31JAN, then you still are charged for the month of Jan. So...if you dont drill for a month or two after you join then you'll have the SGLI debt since the day you joined.
