11, 2003Overseas housing allowance
Military members on official accompanied overseas tours either are provided housing or receive an overseas housing allowance. Qualification for OHA is not predicated on family members joining the member overseas.
Service members on unaccompanied overseas tours also receive OHA if government housing is not available. The families of service members on an unaccompanied overseas assignment remaining in the United States receive the appropriate BAH for their local area.
Members assigned to overseas duty stations must fill out Defense Form 2367, “Individual Overseas Housing Allowance Report,” to receive OHA. Check with the local housing office for specific procedures.
OHA compensates members for most housing expenses, including utilities, maintenance and move-in housing expenses.
Rental ceilings are computed so 80 percent of members with dependents have rents fully reimbursed by OHA.
Unaccompanied members and members without dependents are entitled to 90 percent of the rate for members with dependents.
