When you forfeit pay due to UCMJ, do they take BAH or just base pay?

Just base pay. Your BAH is an entitlement along with BAS and a few other things.

SSG Private RallyPoint Member as a follow-up response your question begs the question how do you not know that as a sergeant?

And that’s not really criticism to you perhaps your mentors and leaders but to you it’s more of an observation. Clearly you can’t know what you don’t know. But your company leadership , NCO support channel etc. absolutely knows that is a basic piece information every Sergeant should know, if not Word for Word at least be able to understand it to reference it as needed

In any case if the question is about to happen to you , you will have an opportunity soon to Become More informed on the article 15 process.

If you’re asking on behalf of one your soldiers , perhaps you should go see Legal assistance and ask to watch the article 15 briefing they give everybody prior to standing in front of the commander.

The best thing you could do is set allotments for all of your pay. Even if allotments are to your bank account, you will keep your money each month. The forfeiture of pay will be taken from your tax refund.
