Pentagon to hammer out details of new BAH cut
As Congress finalizes the first cut to the military’s tax-free housing allowance in a generation, defense officials will have to hammer out the details of precisely how much cash will come out of individual service members’ pockets.
This year’s defense final bill calls for scaling back the Basic Allowance for Housing by 1 percent, meaning that the monthly BAH checks for 2015 will be calculated to cover 99 percent of the estimated cost of local housing. That’s a notch below the current policy that requires BAH to cover 100 percent of the estimated cost of local housing.
