The HQ RIO Reserve Pay Office military pay technicians have noticed increased pay documentation errors that result in payment delays to servicemembers. The most common pay documentation submission errors include: (1) incomplete Orders (AF Form 938); (2) redacted Social Security Numbers (SSNs) – Reservists must ensure their SSN is visible; (3) duplicate document submission – if there was an error transmitting documents, members should contact an HQ RIO military pay technician by phone; and (4) members should ensure they address each item identified by the technician. Individual Reservists can contact the HQ RIO RPO with questions by calling 720-847-3711 or by emailing arpc.riorpo.1@us.af.mil. Many common forms and pay references can be found on the Pay and Travel portion of the HQ RIO website at www.arpc.afrc.af.mil/Home/HQRIO/HQRIOPayandTravel.
