question Is back pay possible for a spouse not added as a dependent?
A friendly reminder, an audit isn't an overnight process. I noticed a slight discrepancy in my dependent pay when I tallied up what was owed retroactively after an appeal, so I requested an audit over the phone. They put one in for me, and it later showed up as a claim a week or two later. As...- dVet

discuss Which military-affiliated credit union is best for credit and savings?
My primary bank is Navy Federal. I use both their AMEX More Rewards Card and Visa cashRewards.
