This is an idea of what your OHA will be like. This is just a guideline so you have an idea of what you will be getting. Finance will help you with the actual amounts. You can also go to this OHA calculator.

Allowances (Effective: 20100101)

OHA Rental Allowance
1880000.00 SOUTH KOREAN WON = $ 1723.63

Utility/Recurring Maintenance/Misc. Allowance
740498.00 SOUTH KOREAN WON = $ 678.91

Move In Housing Allowance (MIHA)
393704.00 SOUTH KOREAN WON = $ 360.96

The MIHA is a one time allowance for expenses incurred while setting up your apartment. For instance we had to have a washer and dryer hooked up in our apartment. This amount more than covered it. The rest of the money I used to purchase curtain rods.

The Utility allowance is for you to use to pay for your utility bills. If your bills exceed the amount you're allotted then you will have to pay out of pocket for the difference. However, if your utility bill is lower then you can just keep the extra.

The rent allowance is simple. The rent goes directly to the landlord. You don't keep any difference.
