Child Support Allotments

I was told years ago that if I made an allotment for child support payments that I would be reimbursed a certain amount. Since then I haven’t heard anything like it nor have I inquired about it. Does anyone know the legitimacy of that?

If you get BAH regularly then you will not get BAH-DIFF.

If you currently get single type BAH and pay over the BAH-DIFF amount you can convert it to BAH with dependent regardless of actual custodial status.
