So my wife just started TBS (The Basic School) at Quantico. Is she not eligible to receive BAH w/ dependents at dependent location since I can not move there right now? Please advise.
So i looked up the order mentioned above and according to the literature a Marine can leave their dependent and the dependent location and received BAH for that location if the Marine has orders to a PME for a period of less than 12 months...point blank period. My wife (the Marine) was worried that our rent where I (the dependent) lives is low. But I believe this should have no bearing.
"
e. PCS Order for Professional Military Education
(PME)/Training (12 or fewer months)
MCO 7220.56
NOV 21 2006
(1) A Marine may elect to leave dependents in place
rather than relocate them when a PCS assignment of 12 or fewer
months is assigned for purposes of participating in PME or
training. The Marine may be eligible for BAH paid at the
dependent location if the dependents do not relocate to the PME
or training location."
Thanks and hopes this helps any future inquiries.
