Questions about NB Kitsap – Bangor BAH
- What is BAH, and how does it work at NB Kitsap – Bangor?
- Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is a tax-free monthly stipend that helps offset the cost of housing when you live off base. Your rate is set by your Military Housing Area (MHA), your pay grade, and whether you have dependents — not by your actual rent. NB Kitsap – Bangor falls in the BREMERTON, WA MHA (WA306).
- How is my NB Kitsap – Bangor BAH rate determined?
- Three things: your MHA (the BREMERTON, WA area for NB Kitsap – Bangor), your pay grade, and your dependency status (with or without dependents). Look up your exact grade in the table above. Rates are the same for everyone in the MHA at a given grade — they don't change based on your specific address or landlord.
