2008 Bah

[MasterBates]

Krock went up $210 for O3-Single and $280 for O-3 married.

Which seems about right, since housing here is as much as Corpus.

I get paid E6 while going to school and BAH for Chicago went up over $200 that is awesome.

 

[Fred]

It works for me now. Our's went up over $200. Finally covers the mortgage.

Just for your knowledges, and everyone else's, BAH is not designed to cover mortgages. Obviously, it's great when it does.

Yes, I am well aware of that. When we bought our house BAH was a $1,000 less a month than it is now.

Mine went down $90. Good thing we're moving, the cost of living continues to go up here and they're going to lower BAH. Nonsense.

Mine went down $90.

That will only affect new arrivals in your pay-grade; yours will not go down.

I thought under the new BAH rules (2006?) that once you PCS'd somewhere, you BAH could not go down. Only go up or stay the same? Once you PCS, then it resets to the current rate where you go.

Where is a Super-Chop when you need them to explain this crap?

When I lived in Pcola for API my BAH was $1018. Now I am in Corpus and my BAH is $860. Either I'm getting screwed or that rule is no longer in place.

MB's reply may have been kind of confusing, but what he meant is that if you PCS to a new duty station your BAH can't go down once you get there. That means now that your in Corpus and getting $860, and say for example in 2008 it went down to $800, you'd keep getting $860 since that's what you got when you first PCS'd there. The difference between P-cola and Corpus doesn't matter.

What IBB said. By your logic, I should still be getting another $1200 a month from when I moved from HI. If only...

Anyone know where this rule is written. Want to put this info out to as many people as I can since the word is already getting around and people are starting to worry about losing money out of pocket.

Which rule?

Re: not having your BAH lowered from initial rate.
