More Survey Responses Needed; Survey Extended through March 16th

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany -- The Overseas Housing Allowance Utility and Move-In Housing Allowance survey results across Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy are below the 50-70 percent targeted response rates.

Without a larger survey response, the Department of Defense will be unable to adjust the monthly utility and recurring maintenance allowance rate and the one-time MIHA rate for these countries.

To allow more time for service members to take advantage of this important opportunity to impact their paychecks, the survey completion date for these countries has been extended through March 16, 2007.

This survey pertains to all uniformed service members residing in privately leased economy quarters and receiving OHA. These Service members are encouraged to complete the online survey at the following link: https://www.perdiem.osd.mil/oha/survey/feboha.html.
