FOOTNOTES TO SECTION 920

(Explanations on how to use the post classification and payment tables are included in Section 920 of these regulations)

Effective August 1, 2010 (TL:SR 739)

 

d - No current cost information is available as all U.S. Government employees are in Government owned or leased housing.  Any USG organization with

     employees eligible for the LQA should submit housing cost information to the Department of State as required by Section 072 and 077 of these regulations.

     Until more suitable housing cost information can be used to establish LQA rates for the locality, effective 01/17/2010 the following LQA rates are authorized:

WOF

11800

e –The LQA rates are established for the benefit of only a few or no current employees and therefore do not necessarily represent overall local quarter

     costs.  (See Sections 072 and 077 for information on the reporting of housing cost data.)

 

n - An employee who serves for a period of 42 consecutive calendar days or more on detail (Section 511c) in Afghanistan (effective 12/16/01) or Iraq (effective 

     3/23/03),  may be granted the post differential at the prescribed rate for the number of days served, beginning with the first day of detail.
