Form Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS : AUTHORIZATION TO START, STOP, OR CHANGE BASIC ALLOWANCE FOR QUARTERS (DA Form 5960)
A DA Form 5960 is a United States Army form used for the authorization to start, stop, or change basic allowance for quarters. It can also be used for variable housing allowance. It is used as a method of changing the pay record of a military member, which can be due to a number of factors.
The DA Form 5960 is available on the United States Army documentation website or can be supplied through the chain of command.

The first step is to supply your basic identifying information in boxes 1 through 3.

1. Include your name, rank, and social security number.

Next, you will indicate the type of action you are using the DA Form 5960 for in box 4.

2. Your duty location, date, and type of quarters are needed in the following three boxes.

In box 8, you must identify your marital and dependency status, including all current and previous marriages and dependent children.

3. If your spouse or former spouse is also a military member, you must put their information in box 8 sections 1, 2, and 3.

Box 9 is used for indicating the type of quarters that you will be moving into or changing.

4. A military member grade E7 and above can select their quarters information, otherwise a commanding officer must make the determination and attach the appropriate forms.

Should you have any dependents who will be living in your quarters, you must provide their information in boxes 10 and 11.

5. Should you require more space, write additional dependents on the back of the DA Form 5960, listing all of their information required in box 10.

Box 12 will require accounting information of your monthly expenses and the monthly expenses of any dependents not currently living with you.

6. Indicate your current mortgage, insurance, or other monthly obligations.

If you are leasing quarters, you must also include the contact information for the landlord of the property and the address of the location.

Finally, you and any commanding officer must sign off on the bottom of the form, certifying the DA Form 5960.

7. Submit the original to the proper authority, but keep a copy of the form for future reference.
