What If The Army Doesn't Pay Your Bonus?
If you receive a bonus, you are on the hook for the term of your contract. You may owe a prorated refund to the government if you are unable to fulfill the terms of your contract. This will be based on the amount of money you have received and how much time remains on your contract.
Can I sue the army for not paying my bonus?
Because military pay is based on statute and not contract law, the legal remedies for missing a bonus are somewhat limited. Despite there being an actual contract signed by the re-enlistee, a servicemember may not sue for breach of contract over a reenlistment bonus.
