This question keep coming up a lot. I have posted this a couple of times but I’ll post it again for you. Your spouse will not be able to receive BAH because she’s at a overseas location. However, you should be receiving BAH without dependent because as a married service member you are not authorized to live in the barracks. There are a lot of bases, that are not aware of this change so to assist you, you can give them this link so they can authorize you your BAH without dependent. Good luck to you, I hope this helps.

The Army announced an end to the geographic bachelor program. Soldiers drawing a housing allowance who have dependents can no longer live in barracks.

Thanks for this -- even if it means I have to edit my post. Things have changed since I got out!

Do you have anything official to back this? I can't find any official changes, but the article sounds very informed.

Must be stationed together in order to gather BAH. If you are separated and do not meet the pay grade requirements to move out of the barracks. You will receive single soldier pay until you get put on orders together

thank you all for the responses, it was mix responses so i called finance, both me and my spouse have to be stationed here, but I can get a memo for an exception of policy so that I can request BAH 180 days prior to her arrival, all I would need is her orders and that memo
