New Per Diem Rates Released

The General Services Administration has announced revised per diem rates for federal travelers for the fiscal year starting October 1 that as in most past years shows increases in total reimbursement in many travel destinations, particularly major cities and resort destinations. The “meals and incidentals” portion will range from $39 to $64 a day, as it does currently, and the standard lodging rate for destinations that do not have their own lodging rates will remain at $60 per night, with a standard $39 meals and incidentals payment. There was some change in the structure of the program, however, mainly involving splitting off some outlying parts of certain metropolitan zones into their own zones and changing the seasonal dates in some cities.
