To receive BAH while at basic training, do I need to bring a lease, even though I'm married and have a child? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/to-receive-bah-while-at-basic-training-do-i-need-to-bring-a-lease-even-though-i-m-married-and-have-a-child <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Do you need to bring a lease for BAH even if your married with a child? My recruiter says I will get it anyway (without a copy of lease) due to the fact I am married and have a child. Thoughts?

I just got to my reclass station and they said to bring it, but they never asked for it once I got here.

You don&#39;t just get it because your married, if you are not in military housing you have to present a lease to finance.

Government is not going to just fork over BAH money just because you say you are married with a child. Then need a physical address where you (they) live and with your name on the lease. Avoids scam artists. SSG Brian G.

You need a lease or have them stay with family CW4 Craig Urban Mon, 21 Oct 2019 03:50:32 -0400 2019-10-21T03:50:32-04:00 Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 21 at 2019 7:59 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/to-receive-bah-while-at-basic-training-do-i-need-to-bring-a-lease-even-though-i-m-married-and-have-a-child?n=5150343&urlhash=5150343 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your recruiter is right. You will get BAH based on where your family is living.
