If you have a USAA bank account, you can get your military pay up to two days earlier. It’s known that military pay dates are the 1st and 15th of each month, except on weekends or holidays. But wouldn’t it be a little nicer if you could get your money sooner?
The USAA’s military pay policy opens up the possibility of getting paid sooner than the standard pay date. It allows up to two days earlier than payday, but in many situations, money is available in your account one day before.
It all depends on what information the job shares with the USAA. You can only get it through direct deposit, so you must set that up first. Remember, if the 15th is on a Monday, then the previous Thursday would be the earliest you could get your pay.
