The information in the VHA Certificate must be
verified with the member’s Dependency
Application/Record of Emergency Data, NAVPERS
1070/602.
Other Documents
In addition, each VHA Certificate must be
submitted with documents (original or legible copies)
showing the member’s actual housing expenses
according to whether the member is a renter or
homeowner. Members in these categories will provide
the required documentation as explained in the
following paragraphs.
RENTER.— A member who is classified as
renter must provide the following documentation:
Copy of the rental/lease agreement or
a
a
certificate from the landlord containing the
member’s name and the full rental/lease
payment for the residence
Copies of liability and personal property
(renter’s) insurance policies or substantiation of
the premium payment
Copies of rental/lease agreement/mortgage
documents for mobile home lot or houseboat
berthing space, if applicable
HOMEOWNER.— A member who is classified as

payment)

VHA RATES PAYABLE
VHA is payable to a member with or without
dependents at one of the following rates:
The offset rate
A rate prescribed in a rate table prepared by the
PDTTAC
A rate prescribed in a special determination
issued by the Secretary of the Navy and the
Chairman of PDTTAC
As we explained earlier, VHA is not payable for the
number of days of travel allowed on PCS orders for
direct travel between the old and new PDS. A reduction
in VHA entitlement for those travel days will be made
at the rate paid to the member while he or she was
assigned to the old PDS. If an allowance was not paid
to the member because government quarters were
assigned at the old PDS, a reduction will be made at the
rate payable following the member’s departure from the
old PDS.
In the following paragraphs, we will explain how
you will use these rates to calculate a member’s VHA
entitlement. Remember, the VHA entitlement is based
on the circumstances of each individual member.
Without Dependents Rate
The VHA prescribed for a member’s PDS will be
used for determining entitlement for a member without
dependents.
With Dependents Rate
Normally, the VHA prescribed will be used in
determining the member’s entitlement for a member
with dependents whether the dependents reside with the
member or at a different location.
When the Secretary of the Navy or a designated
representative issues a determination that dependents
must maintain a permanent residence in a military
housing area other than the one in which the PDS is
located, the VHA will be based upon the actual location
of the dependents’ residence.
In addition, the following conditions apply when
the dependents reside separately from the member and
the member is assigned to an unaccompanied tour at the
following PDSs:
Outside the United States—The allowance
prescribed for the area within the United States where
the dependents reside will be used in determining the
member’s entitlement to VHA for the dependents.
In Alaska or Hawaii—The allowance prescribed
for the are a within the other state or District of
Columbia where the dependents reside will be used to
