SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The CONUS per diem reimbursement rates prescribed in Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) Bulletin 27-01 may be found at
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
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.
