CHAPTER 33
Your monthly housing allowance is prorated by the length of service percentage. Payment is made when your rate of pursuit is more than 50%. Active duty personnel aren’t eligible for the housing allowance.
The amount paid equals the Basic Allowance for Housing for an “E-5 with dependents” and the zip code of the school. BAH rates can be found at www.defensetravel.dod.mil/perdiem/bah.html
