Deadline to apply for temporary BAH increase is Friday
ShareTweetEmail

The Department of Defense authorized a BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) increase in 56 locations across the U.S.; however, active-duty service members must apply by Oct. 1 to receive the maximum benefits from the temporary hike.

The rate increase is in response to the low availability of rental properties and rental cost increases, spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The temporary BAH rate increases range from 10% to 20% and are effective as of Oct. 1 and expire on Dec. 31, 2021, when 2022 BAH rates will replace the temporary rates.

The increase is not automatic. To receive the higher BAH payments, service members must provide proof that their housing costs have increased.

Military members must apply according to service-specific guidelines

Air Force/Space Force: Reference this website for information on compensation and allowances.

Army: See supporting S1/personnel office for further guidance and application procedures.

Navy: Guidance for applying for the increase through your servicing PSD/TSC can be found here.

USMC: Manpower will handle Marine requests for the temporary BAH increase. Procedures and request template can be found here.

Active-duty military members should contact their chain of command for any additional questions on the application process.
