What these rates mean at Fort Sill
Your BAH is fixed by your duty-station ZIP code, pay grade and dependency status — not by your actual rent or where in the area you choose to live. Everyone assigned to Fort Sill at the same grade and dependency status receives the identical amount, so housing cheaper than your allowance leaves money in your pocket, and anything above it comes out of your own.
Rates are re-set every January from fresh local rental surveys. Individual rate protection means your BAH will not fall while you stay at Fort Sill in the same grade with the same dependency status, even if the published rate for the area drops.
