Can anyone tell me the pub that states that two married active members both rate BAH?
From the BAH website:
Q28: My wife and I are both service members and we have two children. Why is it that only one of us can collect full rate BAH and the other single BAH? Why couldn't we each claim one child and collect full with-dependent BAH?
The rules governing allocation of dependents for BAH are specified in the
JFTR, Chapter 10. The rules refelct both the law and policy of the Services
It will probably tell you that you both receive BAH w/o dependents. There is some caveat about one or both of you in government quarters. If you have a child, the senior member will receive BAH w/ dependents and the other one, BAH w/o. It has been a long time since I have read it, so I may be wrong.
