More terminal leave questions....

[xkrazybaby67x]

Do you only get base pay or do you get BAH?

If you get BAH, do you only get BAH if you were previously getting BAH?

Info: DF lives in the barracks. Is planning to take terminal leave 2 months early, will he only get base pay or will he get BAH or the difference of what they have been taking out for the barracks?

HELP

I believe he will still get BAH. If he moves out of the barracks that is. I think....He will also still get BAS

he will continue to get BAS and Will get BAH if he is an e5 or above- BAH will be based on the base he is at since he is not PCSing.

if he is unmarried and e4 and below he is not elegible for BAH.

If this is his first time getting BAH then he will have to turn in a lease and request for BAH. I think this is a tricky situation.

If he is unmarried and E4 and below on shore duty then his is authorized BAH but like I mentioned has to go through the steps to get it as it's not an automatic thing.

he is unmarried, E-5. so basically he will need to request BAH since he'll be moving out of the barracks as he is taking terminal leave and they will pay him BAH based on how long he is still technically "active" while on terminal leave, so in our case 60 days or approx 2 months worth? ahhhh SOOO confusing

That's about right. I would really have him talk to his personnel office to make sure because they might have an easier process for him since he is separating.
