Not only do I think they should let them keep it,
I think they should match everyone else with the same amount.
I only say this because as a former soldier, I know how hard it is
sometimes to live with the fact that trashmen/women make more money than
soldiers. I'm a big supporter for our men and women of the armed forces
not qualifying for food stamps.
Soldiers who see an extra few hundred dollars in their mid-month January paychecks shouldn't spend it. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service made an error that will cause about 53,000 Soldiers to be paid too much in January. The Army will collect the funds from end-of-month paychecks to restore financial balance. Most of the affected Soldiers will receive overpayments of between $200 and $300. There are 316 Soldiers who will receive overpayments of more than $500, a DFAS official said. When the Army "draws back" the overpayments, it will take back the overpayments of $500 and more in two installments, officials said, to reduce any potential hardship for Soldiers. Those who received less than $500 extra will see the drawback in the January end of the month paycheck. Those affected are Soldiers who have Army meal cards, but who are authorized for reimbursement for some meals. An incorrect date entered into a computer database caused the error.
