@shopoctavias: Soldiers with kids… y’all are leaving free money on the table every month 💰 It’s called the Basic Needs Allowance (BNA). Most of y’all don’t even know it exists. They count your BAH and BAS. You have to recertify every year. And if your household income is low enough, the Army will cut you a monthly check. I broke it down real simple so you can stop guessing. Watch this, then go check with finance. Tag a Soldier who needs to see this 👇 #miltok
As a 42A we submit this all the time. Please get with your S1 cause they will help you out. I know we got a walkthrough on how to put the packet together here at Ft. Hood

Yeah we applied for that when my husband was an E3, and he made too much money. BNA is a big scam that nobody qualifies for.

I get BNA, it took like 6 months to teach s1 and my CSM about it and send it up. And it doesn’t include non taxed income. It would s based off of base pay

Yes but there’s a chart. If you’re making a certain amount with said amount of people living in the household. You won’t qualify

Bobby Deli :
BNA is almost impossible because the poverty guideline is insanely low and there is no way any military member with BAH makes that little

Please take into account though that it is taxable income! That can make a difference for some.
