My husband is in the Navy. I am joining the Coast guard. He won't be out for about 8 months after I join. We have one son. How does are pay work. Cause they are all ready paying him BAH and seperation pay. What should I look forward to receiving. Wanted to hear from any other married people or people who know about the pay. I know there are people on his base and my recruiter that can probably tell me. But his pay has been messed up before and we all most had to pay whos ever takes care of his pay mixtake. So I just want to be ready this time. Have some what of a clue what is going to be happening. Thanks

I don't want to double dip. I don't want to get over paid and have to pay them back.

It's been a while, but I believe that the way it works is, whoever is the higher ranking will get BAH with dependents (the full amount) and the other will get the BAH without dependents. This is just until he gets out, then it will switch to you getting the BAH with dependents. Hope this helps.

You will most definitely both get BAH. You can double dip. The don't penalize you for being married.

There should be a website or paperwork that he has been given that will outline what his pay should be. Bah, family separation, combat pay. Ask him to get it from his "commander" that way you can keep an eye on it, and call when there's a problem. It shouldn't change paycheck to paycheck...

You should address any and all questions about pay to his PSD. They will give you accurate information, regardless of how many mistakes were made in the past. Most glitches happen in Cleavland, not locally, so you can have this question answered with confidence there. Ask the PSD Leading Chief.

You will get your base pay as well as BAH, unless you live in PPV housing. in that case, the one who rates the higher BAH gets it and the other forfeits theirs. I THINK you are entitled to either single BAH or BAH-II. You also would FSA as soon as you are eligible.

you can only get it once, so take who ever has the highest pay and use that for the BAH. If you get deployed you will also get separation pay. and if you are both deployed you both get separation pay Hope that helps.
