If I get medically retired, can I stay in my on-post house and are my kids still allowed to go to their school and daycare?

No you cannot. Unless your post is one that allows civilians, and your housing area is one of the housing areas selected for that, when you retire you have to leave.

In the past it would have been an outright no but in recent years certain OnBase housing have transitioned to allow retirees. It is not guaranteed as not all Bases and housing management groups allow it but it is a thing and in most areas it is a limited service to specific housing. You will need to check with local housing to see what your options are. You will also need to speak to them about all the angles as being medically retired under DOD retirement time in service creates a few potential gaps. Hope this helps.

SSG (Join to see) From my understanding is that you will receive your orders for medical discharge. At that point you will have to do like everyone else and clear housing, base etc, just like PSCing. I would get with the housing office and discuss with them on what your options are.

Maybe. At some locations the housing is owned and operated by a contractor. If there is an excess of govt housing the contractor may rent to retired members and even government civilian employees. One year leases. Check with your installation housing office. But, if the demand for on post housing from active duty members increased then you’re out when your lease is up.

You should plan to have to move.

I remember when I retired here in Germany and I request 90 days extension to find an apartments or house to keep my son is school until graduation..I was denied and told I had to dis enroll him because DODOD was private and the all of that is a bogus double standard statement. There was and still is Civilian living in family housing here but they are GS 14 and higher..In the States is different as someone stated and I think that is giving back to the Veterans the next issue is authority them access to on post faculties. I guess the in States the Post Commander has thought by giving them excess would generate more money back to where even they shop..

It depends on the installation and the agreement with the privatized housing management company. Many of the companies are authorized to open up installation housing to DOD civilians, Retired and on some installations subsidized housing depending on occupancy level. You would be required to submit an application to the management company and begin a new lease if authorized. As a resident of the area school eligibility shouldn't be affected but the daycare may be if it is installation managed.

What Post are you on?

Sorry Jordan- once you are out, you are out of housing, and the same for your kids.
