Fact check: Is the national guard in la getting paid

1. Summary of the results

The 4,000 California National Guard soldiers deployed to Los Angeles are currently NOT receiving pay due to administrative delays in issuing official activation orders ^[1]. While they have not yet missed an actual paycheck, the troops are in administrative limbo without the formal orders that would authorize their compensation and benefits ^[1].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The situation is more complex than just pay:

• The delay affects not only salaries but also critical benefits including:
• Tricare health benefits
• VA services ^[1]
• Troops are experiencing anxiety about potential financial strains ^[1]
• There is an expectation that the situation will be resolved within a few days with:
• Formal orders being issued
• Full backpay being provided ^[1]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question oversimplifies a complex situation:

• It doesn't acknowledge that this is a temporary administrative delay rather than a permanent non-payment situation
• It fails to mention the broader impact on benefits beyond just salary
• Multiple stakeholders are affected:
• The National Guard soldiers and their families face immediate financial uncertainty
• The military administration faces pressure to resolve the situation quickly
• State and federal governments may face public criticism for the delay
• All three sources consistently report the same information, suggesting high reliability in the reporting of this situation ^[1]
