The following table shows the DFAS schedule of military pay periods and scheduled pay days for 2012.
We’ve added the dates your Net Pay Advice (NPA) (for mid-month paydays) and Leave and Earnings Statements (for end-of-month paydays) will be available in myPay.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Military members in a transient or Permanent Change of Station (PCS) status will not be able to view their mid-month Net Pay Advice (NPA) using the myPay system. These members should verify their mid-month payday amounts at their local finance office once they report to their new Permanent Duty Station.
However, for those military members still in a transient or PCS status at the end of the month, your end of month LES/Pay Statement will be available through the myPay system at https://mypay.dfas.mil
