Air Force CRSC Timeline

I didn't see many recent CRSC timeline threads, so I figured I would share mine and also ask if anyone has a recent timeline? My CRSC application was received by the Air Force on 21 June 2026, and the notice said that estimated wait times are 160 business days.

21 June 2026 - Air Force received CRSC claim

I can confirm that they’re running at least 7 months from my FB group’s feedback

Still better than the navy, but seems to have slid a little as I recall last I think they were closer to 4-5 months like the army. Not sure of the Army is still holding the line, but a year ago my claim took 100 days, on the par with my most recent and hopefully last VA claim.

They're all sliding as they have to review ALL claims going back to 2008 to ensure the retro pay effective dates are correct, to include the 3,500 that were processed under the Interim Guidance. I guestimate approx 20k approvals need to be reviewed based on HRC feedback. Oy! AF went from 2-3 weeks to 6-7 months and apparently is taking slightly longer than Army, however, one staffer has been out due to a family emergency so I don't see them holding that line for too long.
