PFC Private RallyPoint Member 7522584 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Enlisted in October 2020 and my son was in custody of his father. His dad committed suicide Feb. 2021. I enrolled my son into DEERS, he gets Tricare coverage and I pay his grandma who watches him child support. I&#39;m not getting BAH or any financial help for him. My unit is very unhelpful. What should I do? 2022-02-11T02:05:51-05:00 PFC Private RallyPoint Member 7522584

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hi, Shelly.<br />My deepest condolences to you and your family especially your son. <br />You can get out on parenthood. My husband and I were dual military and I was honorably discharged due to parenthood. Go to school and take care of yourself and your son.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You will need several things. You will need a Family Care Plan. It is required by regulations for single parents. You will need to initiate a DA Form 5960 and push that up to your S1.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Look into AR 608-99. You are authorized to receive BAH and BAS and live in housing, whether on or off post. You are obligated to have a home for your child to live in, even if he lives with your grandma.
