Decrease in Utility/ Recurring Maintenance Allowance and MIHA in Italy Effective July 16, 2015, the Utility/Recurring Maintenance allowance for Italy with dependents decreased from 1,010 to 894 euro. The allowance without dependents decreased from 757.50 to 670.50 euro. The Defense Travel Management Office dropped the allowances after reviewing the results of the 2015 Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA) Utility/ Recurring Maintenance & Move-In Housing Allowance (MIHA) surveys for Italy. The MIHA for both with and without dependent members also decreased from 902 to 723 euro. All of Italy is authorized MIHA Security as of May, 16 2015. MIHA Security is a dollarfor-dollar reimbursement through a DD Form 2556 for security-related expenses for physical modifications to a dwelling. Due to this new allowance, costs for security bars, security doors, burglar alarms, keys, and locks were not included in the calculation of the MIHA Miscellaneous survey, which contributed to the decrease along with lower electricity, bottled gas, heating oil, sewer, trash and maintenance expenses reported. The next OHA Utility survey in Italy is scheduled for March 2016 and the next MIHA survey is slated for 2018.
