Loach Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Just thought I'd remind everyone that the new BAH rates came out today. Got a nice increase (almost $300) for my duty zip code duty station. Here's the direct link to the calculator. http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/bahCalc.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Termy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Can't go down (so to speak) once you are stationed somewhere, correct? It's decreased a ton in California. Edited December 15, 2011 by Termy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youdontknowthis Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Tell me how this works. BAH for my area went down $87 for O-2. O-3... increase of $102. Edit for additional info: If you read the faq on the BAH site it says that there is BAH rate protection as long as you 1. don't PCS 2. don't get demoted and 3. don't change your dependency status.

Yeah, but if you figure the marriage as a sunk cost. The opportunistic value of getting married before the changes........ Oh god, why did that worthless TUIU class just come back into my head.

Marco Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Up $9 in Jax. Just glad it didn't drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockheedFix Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 It won't go down. I just checked my LES and I am still getting the rate for 2010 ($1380), but the 2011 rate is $1320. 2012 rate is $1332, so I'm assuming I'll keep my 2010 rate another year.

HeyWatchThis Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 It won't go down. I just checked my LES and I am still getting the rate for 2010 ($1380), but the 2011 rate is $1320. 2012 rate is $1332, so I'm assuming I'll keep my 2010 rate another year. I believe the only time it will reduce on your LES is a. You PCS b. You promote (when you promote is still goes "up" to reflect your new rank however you get whatever the current CY BAH rate is) If your still at the same base with the same rank during a drop in BAH I don't believe it drops until either a/b above happens.....
