Will i lose my Basic Allowance for Housing BAH if i go active duty?

Question

i have kids and child support.

Answer 1

it depends, if you are the one that has more than 6 months custody of the children then you will because the kids will be living with you. If not then you wont be getting it and be living on base in the barracks. Now if your married then yes you will get it also ( it didnt say if you are or arent )  

Answer 2

If you are married you get BAH.  I think even if you are not married you can still get BAH if you want to live off post

Answer 3

You can get a partial rate BAH if you're paying child support.

BAH-Diff

BAH-DIFF is the housing allowance amount for a member who is assigned to single-type quarters and who is authorized a basic allowance for housing solely by reason of the member's payment of child support. A member is not entitled to BAH-DIFF if the monthly rate of that child support is less than the BAH-DIFF. BAH-DIFF is determined by the SECDEF and was equal to the difference between BAH-II with dependents and BAH-II without dependents in 1997 for the member's grade. BAH-Diff is published annually and is determined by increasing the previous year's table by the percentage growth of the military pay raise. For more information contact your finance office or consult Section 260416, Chapter 26 FMR.

The rates are in a table on this page.
