How will BAH be impacted for a Reserve and active duty dual-military couple if one deploys or goes to AIT and AT?

I'm a Reservist my husband Active duty. We currently receive regular BAH. We have an apartment off post which is paid with BAH via on post housing office rental partnership program. If I deploy or when I do AIT 6 weeks this year and 15 days AT and possibly deploy 6+ months how will BAH change. Will it be chaos or very simple? How does dual military one TPU one active work? I can't find regs or explanations anywhere reliable

Typically, the spouse on active keeps the BAH with dependents the whole time and reservist claims w/o dep.
If the reserve spouse is senior ranking and you want to do all the paperwork to recieve w/dep rate, you can - AD has to stop and change status then do it all over when reserve training is over.

The only change is that you will receive the without dependents rate for the time deployed
