2. ISSUE 203701: BAH SINGLE CONUS KEY SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS.  Upon the merger of 
Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAQ) and Variable Housing Allowance (VHA) in October 1997
the requirement for personnel receiving Single BAH in CONUS to provide a lease or mortgage 
agreement was eliminated.  The Field Examination Group (FEG) has determined that this 
erroneous requirement was still being mandated.  OPNAV N130C has reiterated the policy as 
set forth in Ref A, and further clarified that presentation of a rental agreement or mortgage
documents is no longer required in order to pay a member Single BAH within the CONUS.

3.  ISSUE 203702:  ACTION REQUIRED.  Commands and activities charged with Navy HR 
administration should ensure appropriate steps are taken to eliminate this non-existent
requirement from their SOP’s and procedural guidance to preclude placing an unfair 
burden on single personnel receiving BAH.

3.  REQUEST WIDEST DISTRIBUTION POSSIBLE.//
