When will 2025 BAH rates be released? This is a question that many military members and their families are asking. The Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is a monthly allowance that is paid to military members to help cover the cost of off-post housing. BAH rates are set by the Department of Defense and are based on a number of factors, including the location of the member’s duty station, the member’s paygrade, and the number of dependents the member has.
The 2025 BAH rates have not yet been released, but they are expected to be released in the fall of 2024. The rates will be retroactive to January 1, 2025. This means that military members will receive a lump sum payment for the difference between the old BAH rates and the new BAH rates for the period of January 1, 2025, to the date the new rates are released.
