her. Can I collect BAH for her? I want to know if I have to be married to collect BAH for my girlfriend and daughter. I support both of them financially.
 
You have to be married because BAH is basic allowance for housing, you should be getting paid more because your child is listed as your dependant, but in the Army's eyes your girlfriend legally is nothing to you.
So marry her and you will get BAH and seperation pay.
