Ref: Section 920
Standardized Regulations (GC,FA)
Effective November
16, 2025, unless otherwise noted, allowances and post differential rates are
revised as shown. These changes are issued under TL:SR 1138.
Please inform local
offices of all U.S. government agencies at the posts listed in this cable.
Important: Read this
entire message, as posts may be listed more than once. Changes are listed by
allowances type.
Taiwan has been
included, when applicable, under arrangement with the American Institute in
Taiwan.
The Living Quarters
Allowance (LQA) changes are based on currency exchange rate information
reported to the Office of Allowances as of the first Thursday of Pay Period 23
(November 6, 2025).
All Post Allowance
(COLA) changes are based on currency exchange rate information reported to the
Office of Allowances as of the first Thursday of Pay Period 23 (November 6,
2025).
The publishing of
2025-2026 "At Post" Education Allowance rates has resumed with this
biweekly publication. Until the new education allowance rates are published for
a specific post, the rates for the previous school year will remain in effect.
These rates should be sufficient to cover the costs for the first semester of
the new school year if it is necessary to process payments before the new rates
are published. As a reminder to all Agencies, if there is a change, increase or
decrease, to the At Post and/or Away-from-Post Education Allowance rates during
the current school year, per DSSR 274.23, the highest published education
allowance rate within the school year will be effective for the entire school
year.
