Pentagon Orders Combat Vets to Repay Reenlistment Bonuses

published October 24, 2016 FOX Business

Thousands of California National Guard soldiers have been by asked by the Pentagon to pay back improperly paid reenlistment bonuses from nearly a decade ago.
During an interview on the FOX Business Network, one former soldier affected by the payment error said she first received the notification to return the money, which totaled more than $15,000, in 2012.
“I’m paying it back. They took money out of my paycheck while I was still in the military. And now that I’m retired they're asking me to pay $650 dollars a month which is about a quarter of our income,” former U.S. Army Master Sergeant Susan Haley explained.
...  Even though it's not your fault that these mistakes were made, you still have to pay this money back. I even asked for a reduction in payments and they haven't allowed that,” Haley said.
