The military wants to help"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Airmen and guardians who move away from their families to attend a professional military education program or other training can now earn extra pay to cover the cost of living at both homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the new policy, a person can collect a daily stipend based on their monthly housing allowance rate without dependents, the Department of the Air Force said May 15. For instance, a major who lives near Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, while attending Air Command and Staff College can earn about $1,600 a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new allowance is paid on top of the housing stipend an airman or guardian already receives at their primary residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Troops qualify for the pay bump if they are stationed at the training location for less than a year, have orders to return to their previous base, and do not live in free government housing like dormitories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The change offers more flexibility for troops whose permanent changes of station can financially crunch families who stay behind while a service member is away at school. Those monthslong relocations are critical steps on an airman or guardian\u2019s effort to climb the career ladder, but can squeeze a family\u2019s budget when trying to pay for two homes at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe understand that these short moves, while necessary, can be disruptive to the lives and finances of airmen and guardians with families \u2014 particularly in situations where they are slated to return to their original duty station,\u201d Alex Wagner, the service\u2019s civilian personnel boss, said in a release. \u201cThis new allowance gives our service members and their families additional resources to weather these times away without the added stress of financial uncertainties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congress directed the military to adopt the new policy as part of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, which became law in December 2022. Pay is retroactive to Dec. 23, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon <a href=\"https:\/\/media.defense.gov\/2023\/Nov\/02\/2003333125\/-1\/-1\/0\/UTD_FOR_MAP_85-23(S),_PCS_ALLOWANCES_WHEN_ATTENDING_PROFESSIONAL_EDUCATION_TRAINING_OR_CLASS.PDF\" target=\"_blank\">added the rule<\/a> to its Joint Travel Regulation last fall. The Air Force and Space Force\u2019s rule took effect May 7; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynavyhr.navy.mil\/Support-Services\/MyNavy-Career-Center\/Pers-Pay-Support\/CPPA-Resources\/PPIBS-MPAS\/2024-PPIB\/\">Navy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marines.mil\/News\/Messages\/Messages-Display\/Article\/3697742\/permanent-change-of-station-allowances-when-attending-professional-military-edu\/\">Marine Corps<\/a> enacted their own versions in March. The Army has not yet issued a parallel update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe November 2023 Joint Travel Regulation update entitled eligible Army service members to these allowances even without Army policy implementation,\u201d Army spokesperson Heather Hagan said Wednesday. \u201cWe are in the process of updating our policies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Troops can collect a daily stipend, based on their monthly housing allowance rate without dependents, while at professional military schooling or training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":76682,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":65,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,78,12,26,15,65],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3381],"class_list":["post-41478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-mil-money","category-news","category-newsletters","category-pay-benefits","category-your-navy"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"H7UGERJVKNC7VCPBBIRFC5SEDU","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-air-force\/2024\/05\/22\/paying-for-two-homes-while-away-at-school-the-military-wants-to-help\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Paying for two homes while away at school?
