Your spouse's state of residence is not affected (changed) because of your overseas assignment - whatever your and your spouse's state of residence was before you moved overseas stays the same.
Active-duty military and their spouses are considered to live in their respective state HOR no matter where they are stationed. Their active-duty pay (and the spouse's civilian pay) are considered to be earned in their state HOR.
When you complete the My Info Personal Interview:
- Select (Spouse HOR state) as the state of residence;
- Answer "No" when asked if you "Lived in another state in 2017?" That question only applies if you changed your state of residence in 2017.
- When asked if you "Earned money in another state?", answer "No" (unless the military member had non-military income in the state where you are stationed).
