Hi Herb
 
You will probably be paid by DFAS office in Cleveland, but it will be direct deposit.  The important info is the 20 year letter, and how many "points" or mandays appear on your records.  The 20 year letter signifies that you are eligible, and the number of points is used to calculate retirement pay.  
 
As a rough estimate, 360 'points' for each year on active duty, and each year in the active reserve usually generates about 75 points.  I was 'weird', in that I kept my orders and pay records across three service branches, so easy to do battle with retirement folks.  My brother in law was 'normal' and discarded these records, so now can not document about six years. 
 
The paperwork to apply - an application for retirement pay and direct deposit form - should be available on line at: 
 
https://www.hrc.army.mil/site/reserve/download/default.asp#packets
 
Make sure you pick the application for retired pay, and not the application for active duty.  (:>)
 
There is a Class Six store at Oakdale, near Pittsburgh.
 
Good luck

Maybe the Veterans Service Center here in Cleveland could help. Yes, I will enjoy the checks, especially after I get back to the Pittsburgh area.
