Assignment of Public Quarters or Payment of Basic Allowance for Quarters to Members of the Uniformed Services

摘要

The Instruction reissues DoD Instruction 1338.1, January 30, 1964, and contains changes which restate policy in regard to assignment of public quarters for members of the Uniformed Services or entitlement to the basic allowance for quarters. The changes are in consonance, where applicable, with the Supreme Court decision, Frontiero v. Richardson, May 14, 1973, which held as unconstitutional those provisions of sections 401 and 403 of Title 37, United States Code, which provided for different treatment of the female member in the application of dependency criteria for purposes of entitlement to the basic allowance for quarters. ASD(M&RA) Memorandum, 'Military Family Housing or Allowance for Quarters--Female Members' and ASD(M&RA) Memorandum, 'Military Family Housing Eligibility - Husband and Wife Members' are hereby superseded and canceled.
