Ive heard theres going to be a new kind of housing allowance. Whats the story?
On 1 Jan 1998, the Services will begin phasing in a new housing allowance system called the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH). BAH will be one monthly payment, replacing separate payments of Variable Housing Allowance (VHA) and Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAQ). BAH will be based on rental costs by pay grade, dependency status, and location. The intent of the new allowance is to provide uniformed service members housing compensation based on comparable civilian costs of housing. Civilian comparability considers both salary and location.
