How Is Military Bonus Paid?

Bonuses are paid in Lump Sum, at the time of re-enlistment. Member must have been separated for more than 90 days, but less than 4 years.

Do you get your enlistment bonus right away?

You won't receive your Army enlistment bonus immediately. The Army needs to make sure you're committed to your role in serving the country and that you're not just in it for the money. Once you complete basic training and career-specific training, you'll receive your first payment of $10,000.
