Do I need to amend my orders? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/do-i-need-to-amend-my-orders <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am PCSing from Korea to Fort Hood. I received a copy of my orders and it says dependents aren&#39;t authorized. That concerns me because of the joint custody I have of my kids. I spoke to some senior NCOs at my unit and they are stating that its just for travel and I don&#39;t have to worry about it. My concern is that my children won&#39;t be command sponsored at Fort Hood and that I will no longer receive BHA to pay for the house I have back there any more. Has anyone ever dealt with this and is there any truth behind what I am being told?

If you have court ordered child support then you’ll receive BAH diff. Also, if you were receiving BAH for your children, family separation and are not married while you were in Korea and you are not the primary custodial parent, you will end up with a debt. If you don’t have the documentation stating you are the custodial parent, again you will have a debt. <br /><br />Also, go to your DEERS office to see if they have your dependents listed, because your orders shouldn’t say dependents not authorized, it should either say Dependents yes or the name of your dependents listed on your orders and the zip code of where they are located. This is not an S1 issue, this is a DEERS and reassignments issue. If your dependents are listed in your DEERS, reassignments will have to amend your orders. I hope this helps. Good luck to you...

You will have a huge paperwork drill once you arrive at Ft Hood if you dont. 1SG Rick Seekman Sun, 20 Dec 2020 17:00:59 -0500 2020-12-20T17:00:59-05:00 2019-02-27T16:50:08-05:00
