I know what you mean I am a separation specialist in the Marine Corps as far as severance pay goes it is something calculated in your last check. If all goes right meaning your admin gets it to the finance office in the proper timeframe. You should receive it on your EAS to 2 days after. However, it is a common problem in the Marines (and other forces i hear) that the admin offices do not supply the proper paperwork or even on time so that can delay it. But it is supposed to be paid in your last paycheck which according to the DoD is upon the date of discharge. But as I said the admin offices often turn it in late sometimes not all thier own fault I have seen it where the DD214 is not properly signed off until after discharge. So in a perfect world you would get it monday or tuesday realistically i would say a week from this monday is the normal turn around time any later i would contact your admin first to make sure it was submitted and not rejected then the finance office of your respective command.
