What rate of BAQ is a member without dependents entitled to while in a missing status?

A member in a missing status is entitled to Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAQ) without dependents. This rate acknowledges the member’s unique situation, as they are not able to reside in their normal living quarters due to being unaccounted for. BAQ without dependents reflects the allowance intended for service members who do not have dependents to support while providing for their living expenses under these circumstances.

Understanding the specific allowances that apply to different statuses helps ensure that service members receive the appropriate financial support given their unique situations. It is crucial to recognize the distinction between the rates for members with dependents versus those without, especially in unusual circumstances like missing status, to maintain fairness and provide adequate assistance.
