Getting Married/ Housing in San Diego/ BAH
Me and my sailor are finally getting married. We dont have the date yet but it will be before the BIG DEPLOYMENT in Jan 2013. Once we get married how long is it before BAH kicks in? The other thing is I'm living in my hometown Kansas City MO and I don't want to move to SD until he is there which is after the deployment. Now since our daughter and I are kere in KC will that affect the BAH?
What are the benefits of being married also? <---- not to sound like a gold digger or anything of that sort
Please anyone who knows anything about BAH and housing in SD help me out.
Thanks in advance.

I live in San Diego with my husband. We got married in December of last year in our hometown, and moved out here 2 days after. Once he put me on his paperwork we got BAH right away (the next paycheck). It can take up to a month though to kick in. If he is deployed and you are living in Kansas City you will get BAH for Kansas City. If he is NOT deployed they may not give you BAH.

It can take a few months for BAH to kick in after he puts in all the paper work.
Legally HE gets BAH for where he is stationed, if he wants to get the BAH for where you are living (which isn't with him) HE will have to put in more paper work to get that BAH, and than he has to put in more paper work when he gets back to get the CA BAH.
"What are the benefits of being married also? <---- not to sound like a gold digger or anything of that sort" ummm does dound like a gold digger. If you don't marry him for love...than don't get married. Bennies? Medical, and dental (if he pays for dental), ID card to get on base. What kind of bennies do you think spouses get

Gold digger again not my motive at all. If thats the case i would have married when I became pregnant and he was joining the Navy. Schooling I was hoping to be one of the benefirts not a must becuase I can continue to pay for it MYSELF. I LOVE MY SAILOR AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS TO ME AT THE END OF THE DAY.

San Diego housing usually has a waiting list, up to one year for some of the properties. You'd be renting, probably. However, there are times of year when the housing opens up. The trick with the wait list is you must be available to move in when your turn opens, or you go back to the end of the list!
Bah kicking in depends on when he gets the paperwork done, and how fast it gets processed. Some have seen it right away (next check) while others are still waiting after a couple months. If there are any paperwork errors, it can be delayed. He should talk to his PSD before the wedding to know exactly what they need to add you as a dependent, and your daughter (don't know if she is his or not, but stepchildren get full medical care).
You will receive BAH for where you reside. The Navy will expect you to move to SD when he gets back, as they have tightened up on geographical bachelorhood (him there, family elsewhere). You should be alright during the deployment. No matter where you live, he will get BAH for you. The zip code and amount will be the question ... if he is in port and gets BAH for SD, and you aren't there, he will need to pay for his berthing/lodging out of pocket (not sure if they let them live on board ship on port anymore if they're pulling BAH, I have heard this is changing to NO). If he gets BAH for SD and gives it to you in KC, that can be considered fraud, so he must be very careful to ask personnel how it works for your unique situation. At worst, you may have to pay it all back if they give him too much. Don't worry, the clerks are pretty good at catching this sort of thing beforehand.
Other benefits: healthcare is the big one. Tricare is a darn good medical plan. Family separation pay when he is deployed. Use of any commissary and NEX (PX, BX) on any base. Use of base facilities and programs (there are many). Contact with the ombudsman and family readiness group during deployment. A paid move next time he gets new orders and a dislocation allowance. He gets paternity leave if you have a baby (within one year of the birth).

Thank you so much. I know when you answer a question you answer it. I can't wait to talk to him to see where we go from here.

I was told if the ship is considered unusually arduous (sp) sea duty then while its deployed you can get BAH for somewhere else. Then when you move to SD it would switch. He needs to make sure you are collecting for where you live or it could be fraud. Also, he might need a lease for you saying that you live at an address. Even if you stay with family and pay xxx amount they might need it. (thats what I have been told)
