DD Form 2556, "MOVE-IN HOUSING ALLOWANCE CLAIM FOR PERSONNEL OCCUPYING PRIVATELY LEASED/OWNED QUARTERS OVERSEAS"

Benefit Fact Sheet. The Overseas Housing program enables Service members assigned overseas to privately lease housing on the economy. This program is a reimbursement system that takes into consideration the amount Service members spend on rent, utilities and associated move-in costs.

If you qualify for MIHA/Rent, MIHA/Security, or MIHA/Infectious Disease you also must complete and submit DD Form 2556, the MIHA Claim Form [PDF, 2 pages]. OHA is paid in U.S dollars but rent, utilities, and move-in payments are typically paid in foreign currency.

Move-in Housing Allowance (MIHA): A one-time payment to all OHA recipients designed to cover average move-in expenses, such as utility installation, at an overseas location.

Utility/recurring maintenance allowance is paid monthly to defray expenses paid directly to utility companies. Payments fully cover the reported utility expenses for 80 percent of the members, based on expenses reported to the Per Diem, Travel, and Transportation Allowance Committee by members receiving the allowance.
