BAH Info for Navy Hurricane Victims

In order to provide the Navy family information about Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) for those affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, a set of frequently asked questions (FAQ) was developed by the Navy Installations Command and the Navy Personnel Command and released on Oct. 14 by Task Force Navy Family. Through a sequence of questions about an individual Sailor’s current situation, the FAQs explain the member’s entitlement to BAH. Also included are two example situations, definitions, key references for additional guidance and points of contact. The FAQs divide service members into two categories – those who have returned to their permanent duty station and those who have not. To review the FAQs, visit http://taskforcenavyfamily.navy.mil/NavyFamilies/, or contact the local Personnel Support Activity or Personnel Support Detachment.
