The Defense Finance and Accounting Service assured that it will continue to process the paychecks of retired, civilian and active-duty military personnel on time despite ongoing mandatory furloughs, GovExec reported Thursday.
Kellie Lunney writes most DFAS employees are subject to 11 unpaid furlough days between July 8 and September 30.
Thomas LaRock, DFAS deputy director of corporate communications, said there is a potential for delay on contractor and traveler pays in some cases under a furlough.
He added the agency “is working to make sure all vital activities continue in their normal timeframes to the maximum extent possible.â€
DFAS is responsible for payment operations across the Pentagon and several non-defense organizations such as the Executive Office of the President and the Broadcasting Board of Governors.
It operates as a working capital fund and has offices in Europe, Japan and nine U.S. locations.
