I received my decision of severance and 10% on 19 May. How long will it take for me to receive a separation date after I sign accepting the decision? My PEBLO said it would take 3-4 weeks before I would receive a date, but she has been a horrible source of information and offered little help through the whole process.
How long after decision until I receive a separation date?
- Thread starter suzukimxhero
- Start date
I am army so it might differ in other services but......
In the briefing packet I received at the start of my MEB it stated it would take between 2-6 weeks for orders after signature by soldier with average time 4 weeks. My orders were cut about 3 weeks after signature. I did not find out my date until 6 weeks after the orders were cut which brings me to some helpful tips so you do not do a one day clearing with everyone biting your head off like I had to go through....
1) Your unit is suppose to notify you of your orders so make sure to check in with them often. If it has been a few weeks with no answer from your unit.......
2) Your peblo gains a copy of the orders but does not notify you about them. You can keep in communication with your peblo and they are a good indicator of your orders being cut.
3) If all else fails, contact transition. They are usually set up with one individual in charge of a certain service i.e. ets/retirement/pcs and within that section it is further divided by name i.e. a-g, h-p, etc. Depending on what post, some transition specialists are helpful, others are very pissy and best not disturbed so its a grab bag there what you will get.
Just remember to always go through your unit first and give your supervisors a chance to help you in your transition out of the military.

I just signed my IPEB decision on June 19th - my PEBLO is telling me it could take up to 90 days to receive orders and a separation date. Does anyone have insight on this? That seems like a very long time to me.
Depends if your branch PDA agrees with the findings and what your branch is, just based on the recurring timelines around here. Authorization for orders and separating from service seems to have a branch specific timeline, what branch are you?
