VA BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing)Benefits

If you are a full time student with 12 credits or more, then you are good to go and you will qualify for a full BAH amount.

However, if you are not a full time student then your BAH will be prorated. That is as long as you are over at least 51% of full-time (7 credits or more). Taking 50% or less than the credits needed to be considered full time will result in you getting NO BAH! 

Below are some tables that break down how much you should expect to get based upon how many credits you take. The tables below are strictly taken from the VA.gov site and SFFS encourages the students to check for themselves the accuracy and amendments done to the rules below as of 2/14/2024.  SFFS can not be held liable for any future amendments to the VA rule.
