If you can sign for the bonus, but don't sign for it by 30OCT, you just miss your bonus for that year. There is only a 3 month window to sign. That being said it sounds like no one in the navy can sign right now, so I guess its a non-issue.
If the NavAdmin hasn't been released (which it hasn't) then you can't sign for anything. You don't miss it for the year even if you miss the NavAdmin, but it would shift your obligation month and you wouldn't get the pay back dated to October. Under the new system the obligation month shift would essentially be a non-issue since you no longer have to sign every year.
When the NavAdmin runs late (as usual) then the pay gets paid as if you still signed in October (although under the old system there were tax issues if paid in the following calendar year.)
If you ever have any concerns that your particular special pays person is missing the boat then go to the BUMED special pays website and you can either read all the up to date info there or you can email the special pays person for your last name at BUMED.
