When me and my fiance get married does he have to move out of the barracks immediately?
April 6th, 2009 Posted by: admin
we are planning to get married either the last week of december or the first week of January. I will not be relocating to Georgia until the 2nd or third week of February. How long will it take for our BAH to take affect and does he have to move out of the barracks as soon as we are married or can he wait a month on me????

No, he’ll have to move out in order to get BAH though.

As a general rule, he’s supposed to move out of the Bachelor’s Quarters. He should be able to talk to his supervisor and be able to get it worked out, though, because of the situation. They won’t process his BAH until he has moved out, though. The longer he waits to move, the longer it takes to start.

A military member lives in the barracks until their spouse arrives at the duty station. BAH takes effect the day you move into your new housing. Proof of rent or ownership must be provided to the personnel office. If you give them the information lets say a week after you move in the BAH payments (which are monthly) will be retroactive.
The military wants to take care of their people first and foremost and will not throw them out on the street just because they got married.

I am assuming you will be moving off post, then? He doesn’t have to move out of the dorms right away. However, the day he signs for a house is the day he needs to be out of the dorms (if you are living on base). The day he signs out of the dorms is the day he starts collecting BAH (if living off base).

“When my fiance and I get married, Is he required to move out of the barracks immediately”?
He moves out when he gets quarters on Post or finds a house or apartment or trailer to rent Off-Post!
I’m sure he will be given ample time to get his affairs in order.

He will probably have to wait a month or so, for a place to get looked at and for the paper work to go in. Congrats!

He can live in the dorms for as long as he wants. He has to move out to get any BAH though. When I came down here to MS it took my husband over 3 months to do all of the paperwork to be able to move out. If you are going down there a month after he does, I would recommend he gets the paperwork going to move out so y’all can get the BAH. He might live alone for a few weeks at the most, but it took too long of ME living by myself waiting on him.
