week.

Note: If you’re taking correspondence training or flight training, you’re not eligible for MHA.

We base your MHA on the monthly military Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rates for an E-5 with dependents. This is called the resident MHA. We use the 2021 rates to calculate the MHA you

get between August 1, 2021, and July 31, 2022.
