It was estimated the change would make around 28,000 people eligible for the new allowance, or roughly 6,300 more than the previous program covered
But the military also estimated around 7,700 members would become ineligible and thousands of others would see their monthly payments reduced. Officials said that would result in a net savings of $30 million a year, bringing the program back within its budget at around $150 million.
Brig.-Gen. Virginia Tattersall said those who would have seen their monthly housing benefit decrease will be eligible, and will receive decreasing payments until July 2026. Eligible members will be enrolled automatically and should get a lump-sum payment to cover the summer months sometime in mid-October.
