I have a question that need to be answered to the best of some ones ability. I was just wondering, my husband is currently ETSing out of the Army. We are about 3 weeks from going home so its coming close ,but we were wondering when we will receive our BAH again because I know that we should receive it 1 last time in March’s payday. So how soon will we receive the BAH after we leave here?

You should continue to receive pay on schedule as long as he is considered active duty. His last paycheck will take longer than normal as they review his financial records to make sure his final paycheck is accurate. In my experience, it is anywhere from four to six weeks to get a final paycheck after ETS. Those who are retiring tend to get their final paycheck quicker than those who are discharging before retirement age.

I am living in Europe right now and European citizen. I am curious that if my husband was to be re-assigned to a unit in the US and does and unaccompanied tour; would I and our kids be able to remain in my country and continue to get BAH to pay for our house or would we have to split that?? Would a senior NCO be able to stay in the barracks and we receive all of the BAH?
My husband says no to both but I have heard different and want to verify if anyone knows something more? Or to who i would be able to go and ask with him?
Have a happy New years and look forward to hearing from you….
