| BAH rates vary according to number of units enrolled. Anything under full time will
be prorated. To receive FULL BAH for a regular semester you need to have 12+ units, you will NOT receive BAH if you are below 6.5 units. If all your classes are online BAH is approximately $1,119 per month. Minimum of ONE in-person class is $3,264 per month. To calculate your BAH rate using the chart, multiply your full BAH rate by the multiplier under the number of units in which you are enrolled that are authorized by the VA. EX: If your full BAH rate is $3,264.00 per month and you are enrolled in 9 units you would use 3264 x .8 = 2,611.20 |
