Got a Soldier who just got married. I know we can put them in deers. Do they qualify for BAH also?

Yes.
Entitlements such as TRICARE enrollment, basic allowance for housing (BAH) and family separation allowance are retroactive to the date of the Supreme Court’s decision. Any claims to entitlements before that date will not be granted. For those members married after June 26, 2013, entitlements begin at the date of marriage.

They get BAH. My cousin just married someone in the Navy and they get the same benefits as everyone else that's married.

I have a Soldier who is currently in a same sex marriage with another Soldier. Both receive BAH, however, both are at the dependent's rate. Finance is telling them that neither of them qualify for full BAH. I can't find anything that specifically states that one of them cannot receive full BAH. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I can't tell you what the regulation is, but my finance told me that 2 military members married to each other will get the without dependent rate unless one has a child. Military members do not count as a dependent, so that's why both get the without dependent rate.
