https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-happens-to-my-spouse-s-bah-if-i-enlist-in-the-reserves <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My husband is active duty E-4 and since we are married (I&#39;m a civilian, and we don&#39;t have children) is receiving BAH with dependents. I&#39;ve been thinking of enlisting as a reservist.<br /><br />If I enlist, will he lose his BAH while I&#39;m in boot camp and A-school? Will we both get BAH? And when I finish A-school and am doing one weekend a month and two weeks a year, how will his BAH be affected?

I’m Reserves and my wife is active duty . When you are in the reserves the army technically looks at you as a civilian .

His BAH will remain unchanged.

Unless you are on AD orders/training, then you will notify your HR of the change there will be an adjustment since you can only get full rate of the highest rank and half of the next.

Only potential issue is if and when you mobilize and are entitled to BAH, but you are required to provide a mortgage or rental agreement.

While your are on BCT and AIT you are considered on Active Duty so they might give you the w/o Dep rate if you are lower in rank from your husband unless they&#39;ve changed policy. It doesn&#39;t matter that you are in the Barracks at this time because BAH (if they give you) is not just for you but for the family. Don&#39;t expect it but just in case they give it to you then you&#39;ll know why.. SGT Ej P. Tue, 14 Aug 2018 07:24:13 -0400 2018-08-14T07:24:13-04:00 2018-08-11T00:21:57-04:00
