SGM Matthew Quick — Tue, 17 Dec 2013 17:46:24 -0500

The Department of Defense released today the 2014 Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rates, which take effect Jan. 1, 2014. Overall rates will increase an average of five percent this year.

REMINDER: In areas where rates will decrease, the decrease will only apply to members newly reporting to those locations. Members are protected by individual rate protection which ensures that those already assigned to a given location will not see their BAH rate decrease, however, they will receive the increase if the rate goes up.

Now if the market would go down with the BAH decrease then there would not be so much of an issue.
