SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The CONUS per diem reimbursement rates prescribed in Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) Bulletin 27-01 may be found at https://www.gsa.gov/​perdiem. If a maximum lodging allowance rate and/or a meals and incidental expenses (M&IE) per diem reimbursement rate is insufficient to meet necessary expenses in any given CONUS location, agencies can request that GSA review that location per 41 CFR 301-70.202. Additional information on the special review process is available at https://www.gsa.gov/​perdiem under the “FAQs” tab.

After a rate freeze in FY 2026, for FY 2027 GSA will increase the standard lodging per diem rate by $3 to $113, and 295 non-standard areas will continue to receive a maximum lodging allowance higher than the standard rate. The M&IE reimbursement rate tiers for FY 2027 will remain at $68-$92, and the standard M&IE rate will remain at $68.

Other than the changes posted on the GSA website, notices published periodically in the Federal Register now constitute the only notification to agencies of CONUS per diem reimbursement rate revisions.

Matthew Batzel,

Associate Administrator, Office of Government-wide Policy.
