I literally just signed for my USAF bonus, so this is the deal.
You'll raise your hand, get the Officer to sign your paperwork, then return it to MPF. MPF will then have you walk over to finance (or they'll do it for you), and show your paperwork. This should be the AF 901 that your CC signed for you to get your actual reenlistment paperwork signed by your officer administering the oath. From the day you turn in your paperwork, about a week will go by while AFPC confirms you reenlisted, then the finance system will receive you are entitled a bonus and how much is taxed. Then, you'll go back to the finance office, sign your SRB payout slip and about 7 - 8 business days from then you'll see the money in your account. I was taxed exactly 31%. You'll be taxed the same.
Base pay: $2907, Zone C multiplier of 6, 5 year reenlistment = $87210
After 31% taken off for taxes, then dived by 2 for up front bonus = $30087
That is the process. Sounds worse than it is... but it's the waiting for you bonus to drop that's the most agonizing. Good luck!
4 to 6 weeks after you initial contract is up
Yes, military officers are eligible for reenlistment bonuses depending on their branch of service and the specific circumstances. The bonus amount may vary based on factors such as job specialty, deployment history, and the needs of the military at the time. Officers should consult their branch's policies and speak with a career counselor for specific details regarding reenlistment bonuses.
No you can't? Your not a good candidate. Yes you can but do not expect a bonus.
I will just have to take a pass on your reenlistment offer, sir.
Reenlistment Eligibility code is block 27 on the DD-214.
They will probably withhold 28% for the federal income taxes and you when you file your income tax return you may get a refund of some of the 2914.85 that will probably be withheld at the source of the bonus. An estimated amount would be 7138.15. You could contact the payer of the funds and ask them this question.
A reenlistment code of 9G typically indicates that an individual is not eligible for reenlistment due to various reasons, such as disciplinary actions or other factors.

The United States Department of Defense offers incentives for enlistment and reenlistment based on need for certain occupational specialties. Marine Corps signing bonuses depend on the specialty, period of enlistment, and can only be determined by consulting with the representative from the recruiting command.
In the Army, the reenlistment window typically opens 90 days before the expiration of your current enlistment contract. Soldiers are encouraged to start the reenlistment process early to ensure they meet all requirements and deadlines.
