Housing: Reservists
The 2006 Defense Authorization Act led to a significant change in BAH policy for reservists. Previously, reservists had to serve on active duty for 140 days or more to qualify for full BAH; any lesser period of mobilization qualified them only for reduced BAH Reserve Component/Transient (formerly BAH Type II) payments.
Reservists now qualify for full BAH when they are mobilized for more than 30 days. In addition, reservists mobilized for 30 days or fewer specifically in support of a contingency operation also get full BAH. They receive 1/30th of their normal full BAH rate for each day on active duty.
The only reservists who still draw BAH RC/T are those activated for noncontingency active duty, such as their two weeks of routine annual training. They receive 1/30th of their normal BAH RC/T rate for each day on active duty.
