...and they/we have since been paid out...

You are a little lost my friend. Find the park ranger and have him escort you back out to the tree with the ribbon on it...

... The files are now with them, so from our unit's side of things, we've done our part...

Which is it??

Both. Our unit has passed all files to the PIL team in Ottawa, which have been processed. Any issues (which I have not heard of any) rest with the PIL team and not our unit. I, for example, elected for 100% payout and received mine on 15 Apr.

Umm... Golden shovels all round!!

That is to say **cough** bull*** cough...

I've no reason to BS about the performance of the PIL team, nor about receiving money. They (my unit's Clerks and the Ottawa PIL team) have done an excellent job processing the files far faster than the projected 2015 completion date, and they've been very open to questions via telephone and email.
 
Keep in mind, *someone/a unit/etc* will be the first to receive the +50%ers.  When they say "possible for 2 years to receive" they didn't mean everyone.  Seems to me they (DMCA PIL Team) are like a lot of us; plan for the worst, hope for the best.  With that in mind I've always suspected the '2 years' was the worst case scenario which wouldn't apply to all of us.  :2c:
 
Makes sense. They kind of have to protect themselves a bit. If MWO X and MWO Y both applied for 100% PIL and one of them had 25 yrs straight Reg time and the other had mixed Res and Reg time they would not get processed at the same time. I am sure there are some interesting calculations with some pers getting out and back in a few times over the last number of years.
I do however really hope they tried to arrange these files in order of complexity prior to processing. Rather than just one large pile and take whats on the top and carry on.
Some people may take up to two years or longer but I would suspect most will not have to wait nearly that long.
 
My understanding is that they are doing them first come, first served.  That said, I know of at least one 100% person who has received their payout, so the system is slowly grinding forward.

My bank account, however, remains lean.
 
I also thought that when you do receive your PIL, it will be seperate from your pay, a few people i know have received there 50% with there pay and not a seperated deposit. As well, i have not heard of anyone except for Army101 receiving their 100%. anyone know of anyone personnally?

If posted to JSR, (and currently on EX in Wainwright), you might want to have a nap because your thought process is all over the place. LOL

If you are in garrison right now, (and got a good sleep last night ), you might want to cut down on the redbull.  ;)


all kidding aside.  I get ( I think ) what you are saying.

Yeah I was a bit all over, so is this thread lol. So its not just me hopped up on redbull and cheap canteen coffee.
 
The Base Chief in Borden recieved his.........

and apparently some Pte and Cpls as well, but it was noted the Base Chief received his at an O Group
 
About  a dozen or so from my unit have already received theirs.  I was told they would be coming in batches like that at every pay cycle.  As well it seems that only 17% of those eligible to opt did so.  Meaning far less to process.
 
I know a sailor here in Halifax that got his 100% payment with his last pay.  He was the first in line at the pay office on the first day with his file in hand.  I also elected for the 100% but got my paperwork in on the first day back from Christmas leave.  My bank account is on the lean side too. :(
 
Has anyone gotten their PiL  as a separate payment, not associated with the pay run?
 
No.  Mine was included in the payment at the end of last month.

Was that more or less then 50%

Not sure,
from what has been going around noone in the St. Jean/Montreal Garrison region has received.

I guess it depends on if units/Areas/Groups did them all at once or sent in groups. Here ours apparently went from one garrison to the other, then back to the first one then sent to the team in ottawa. Mind you that is gossip, so who knows, given enough time the rumour is gonna say that the files were all lost.

For the straight forward cases, it should be pretty clear cut. I think they made it a bit more complicated then what they needed to do. If you have reserve time, prove it, if you have a break in service, sort it out. Although I am sure someone had their reasons for doing it that way....

 
MARPAC has a PIL team site that states "The current direction is that the Pay in Lieu of CFSP, regardless of a member’s election choice, will be paid out during the fiscal year 2013/2014, so everyone can expect to be paid out this fiscal year."  So, possibly, it will not be a 3 year wait.
