residents, from page 1 _______
home type, size and appliances. The
rate for each floor plan was calculated
by taking the average amount of
actual electric and gas consumption
for each specific floor plan, which
was developed based on data that has
been gathered from the homes since
2007, and adding on an additional
10 percent to account for seasonal
changes. Residents will receive the
same Housing Utility Allowance for
their specific floor plan each month,
regardless of weather conditions or
season changes.
Once actual billing begins in January
2012, residents will see their Housing
Utility Allowance appear on their
monthly utility statement, which will
be mailed directly to each resident’s
home. (Note: Residents will continue
expansion, from page 1 _______
dental exams and cleaning needs for
over 2,300 active duty, reserve and
foreign military personnel. With the
dental service aid station expansion,
services to general dentistry and sick
call appointments will be increased,
which will eliminate the need for
to receive their full BAH amount,
which will continue to be deducted
from the senior military member’s
paycheck. This Housing Utility Allowance
will not appear on the military
member’s Leave and Earning
Statement.)
A $50 variance is built into the
monthly utility statement. This means
that if a resident’s bill is less than the
amount of the resident’s Housing Utility
Allowance, then the resident will
amass credit in his or her account.
Once that credit reaches $50 or more,
the credit will be paid via check to the
resident. If a resident’s bill is greater
than the amount of the resident’s Housing
Utility Allowance, then the resident
will amass debt in his or her account.
Once that debt reaches $50 or more,
the resident will be billed and will be
responsible for paying that amount.

If a resident chooses, he or she can
sign up for the rebate accrual option.
This means that in lieu of receiving
a check every time the resident earns
$50 or more in credit, the resident
may elect to accrue his or her credit.
Then, if the resident’s bill in future
months should exceed his or her utility
allowance, the accrued credit will
be applied to the exceeded amount.
Residents may choose to opt in or out
of this rebate accrual option once per
calendar year. Those who elect to take
part in this rebate accrual option will
receive their remaining credit, or will
owe their remaining debt, upon move
out or transfer.
