New BAH rates are out.

Does this take into account the 1% cut to BAH that was passed in the NDAA?

Affirm, it accounts for the 1% reduction and the removal of the requirement for it to cover renter's insurance.

Dude, that's a huge reduction at Maxwell!

Little Rock O-4 down 6%. I suspect reservists who go off and on active duty orders for >30 days at a time don't get rate protection. We'll need to see what happens to BAH-II which is more applicable to most reservists.

If nothing has changed, that is correct. You're only pay protected until you get promoted OR to your current orders end date.

Even with a promotion, BAH rate protection applies, somewhat. You get either the new pay grade rate (unprotected) or the previous grade (rate protected) amount if it was higher. Specifically addressed in the FAQs, number 7. With the nearly 10% drops in some locales, this will be a factor.

little rock is only down if you have dependents... if you are single you are gaining as much as guys with dependents are losing. The difference between an O-3 with and without dependents now is only about 80 bucks. It was about 200.

O4 @ KBAB + 7%. Still not enough...

It's not like you are forced to live in Lincoln and Roseville. There are plenty of quality homes in Marysville! /s

Seems like most below O-3 are seeing a pretty bad decrease. There goes everyone's 40 minute commute gas money...
