The General Services Administration (GSA) announced new federal per diem reimbursement rates for fiscal year (FY) 2024. Per diem rates consist of a maximum lodging allowance component and a meals and incidental expenses (M&IE) component. Non-standard areas (NSAs) are frequently traveled by the federal community and are reviewed by the GSA on an annual basis. Standard CONUS locations are less frequently traveled by the federal community. Highlights for FY24 include: The M&IE per diem tiers for FY 2024 are unchanged at $59-$79, with the standard M&IE rate unchanged at $59.
