Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the Department of Defense's (DOD) methods for computing fiscal years (FY) 1981 and 1982 variable housing allowances (VHA) which were authorized for qualified members of the uniformed services. The GAO evaluation indicated that Congress needs to correct certain weaknesses in VHA legislation, and DOD needs to correct certain procedural problems. GAO found that the basis DOD used to compute VHA rates is what service members say they are paying for housing. Such a basis introduces not only the potential for abuse, but also for uncontrolled cost growth that will not be visible to Congress until after it has occurred. Also, GAO stated that it is questionable whether, in the early years of the program, this method will enable service members to obtain adequate housing. GAO believes that a better basis for establishing a housing allowance would be some external measure of what the members' civilian peers pay for housing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed: (1) the fairness of the Department of Defense's (DOD) military housing system as it pertained to dual-service couples and divorced members; and (2) previous DOD studies on housing and existing laws on basic allowances for quarters (BAQ) and the variable housing allowance (VHA). GAO found that: (1) the housing allowance system was designed when the military was small and composed mostly of single males, and those members that were married had nonemployed civilian spouses; (2) the problem has been compounded by the growth in the number of female service members, which has led to an increasing number of dual-service couples, and growth in the number of divorced service members; (3) service members in those categories believe they are unfairly treated; (4) current legislation restricts a dual-service couple from receiving BAQ when both are assigned to sea duty, even though they may live in nongovernment housing for lengthy periods when the ship is in port, or maintain that housing during short deployments; (5) other legislation prevents members who reside in government quarters and receive a housing allowance only because they pay child support from receiving a variable housing allowance and denies variable housing allowances to certain members who elect to not occupy quarters when assigned to sea duty; and (6) DOD proposals to eliminate perceived inequities for dual-service couples and divorced service members may serve to magnify perceived inequities for other groups that do not have the option to elect to not occupy government quarters.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluates the current Department of Defense Variable Housing Allowance (VHA) Program for military families with dependents. It is exclusively for the Colorado Springs Military Housing Area (MHA), although the methodology could easily be applied to other MHA in the continental United States. For the Colorado Springs MHA, we conclude that VHA entitlements are too low for pay grades 0-1 and E-6 and below. For 0-2, 0-3, and E-7 through E-9, the current VHA entitlement are too high. We were unable to make a determination for 0-4 and above. We also explored the implications of including homeowner imputed rents in Department of Defense VHA calculations. We conclude that if imputed rents were included, VHA would be substantially lower for all pay grades. We recommend that all military members be advised on how their VHA entitlements are calculated, and how the quality of housing they choose affects their respective entitlements. We also recommend that VHA entitlements be updated quarterly between annual VHA surveys by indexing entitlements to housing cost inflation rates. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis discusses the essential features of an alternative to the current variable housing allowance (VHA) program, which is called the variable compensation program. The outline of the variable compensation program begins by assuming a typical servicemember has a Stone-Geary utility function. Next, it derives this typical servicemember's implied expenditure function. This expenditure function is a function of the prices of two composite commodities, housing and nonhousing goods and services, and the level of utility provided by the member's regular military compensation. The parameters of this function are the respective subsistence quantities and marginal budget shares of the two composite goods. The subsequent sections of the variable compensation program outline discuss: (1) techniques to estimate these parameters, (2) the methodology of determining the appropriate levels of utility for the various military paygrades, (3) techniques to estimate the geographic price levels of housing and nonhousing goods and services, and (4) potential sources of data required by this program. This thesis concludes with a discussion of the advantages of the variable compensation program over the current VHA program as well as possible areas of expansion to make this program a more sophisticated analysis of military compensation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The elements of the military compensation system have grown in number and complexity. For example, today, there are three primary military housing allowances; i.e., basic allowance for quarters, continental United States variable housing allowance, and overseas rent plus housing allowance, which basically reimburse servicemembers for their housing costs. The question is, if these three housing allowances serve the same purpose, why not simplify the compensation system by combining them into a single housing allowance system? The study evaluates the possibilities of combining the three housing allowances into a single area housing allowance. The study concludes that a single area housing allowance--an AHA, will improve the military compensation system. (Author).

Download or read book An Analysis of the Effects of Military Housing Allowances and Other Military Related Factors on Private Sector Rental Housing Prices written by Gary L. Wick and published by . This book was released on 1996-12-01 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privatization of Military Family Housing will place a greater reliance on private sector rental housing. Before the DoD embarks on any policy changes that place a greater emphasis on private sector housing, the DoD must be certain that rental property landlords do not raise rental prices based on changes in a service member's housing allowances. This thesis explores the relationship between changes in military housing allowances and changes in private sector rental prices. A multiple regression model was used to determine this correlation. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Fair Market Rent data was used to measure the changes in private sector rent prices in 25 cities. Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAQ), Variable Housing Allowance (VHA) rates, and a ratio that measured the presence of military members in a given area were used as the independent variables. Using the three independent variables described above, the result did confirm the popular impression that rent prices do rise with increases in housing allowances. However, the correlation was not as significant as anticipated. In an effort to make the model more useful as a policy tool, recommendations are provided for an expanded dependent variable data source and additional independent variables.

Download or read book Consolidating DoD Housing and Allowance Data Collection written by Douglas M. Brown and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Data on Service member's housing costs are collected for four primary purposes: to determine the eligibility for basic allowance for quarters payments; to determine the eligibility for, and amount of, variable housing allowances or overseas housing allowance payments; to determine housing deficits at military installations; and to calculate the appropriate variable housing allowance ceilings for an installation. We identified 14 different data collection forms now being used by DoD and the Military Services. The information on those forms is required for the four major purposes and clearly overlaps. It is collected from Service members several times; in fact, the military spends more than 2 million manhours annually on filling out and processing forms - just for housing and allowances. We found that much of the data collected are redundant, some are unnecessary, and some are readily available from other sources collecting the same data using different methods and agents can result in inconsistent and erroneous analyses. The Finance Office should be the primary sponsor of the form and the data. DoD could realize additional savings by integrating the data collection process into a single automated system. --Stinet.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the compensation package that it offers members of the armed forces, the Department of Defense (DOD) provides several housing allowances designed to help members pay certain costs of housing services. This report examines recent trends in the U.S. housing market and relates them to DOD policy. It then reviews the recent professional economics literature on housing demand, particularly the empirical literature, and relates findings from this literature to DOD policy. Finally, the report offers concrete proposals on how to simplify current DOD policy and make it more efficient without compromising any of its basic goals.
