What to know
- Rates are set for each housing area, pay grade and family status.
- If your area's rate drops but you stay at the same duty station with no break in eligibility, you generally keep the higher rate (rate protection). It doesn't apply if you PCS, are reduced in grade, or your dependency status changes. Confirm with travel.dod.mil.
