To amend title 37, United States Code, to authorize the basic allowance for housing for members of the uniformed services in the Virgin Islands.

HR 1030 amends U.S. military housing pay rules to include the U.S. Virgin Islands. It updates Title 37, U.S. Code, to authorize the basic allowance for housing (BAH) for uniformed service members stationed in the Virgin Islands, extending the same housing benefit currently available to members in the 50 states and other U.S. territories. The bill adds "and the Virgin Islands" or "or the Virgin Islands" to specific sections of the law governing BAH eligibility and payments. This change takes effect January 1, 2024, for all applicable housing allowance payments. The bill directly affects service members and their families living in the Virgin Islands who previously did not qualify for the standard BAH.
