Many questions can be answered faster using these self-help resources:

We often receive questions that can be better answered by another Department of State office:

Employees of other Federal agencies:

We are happy to assist you as well, but first check your own agency's implementing regulations for guidance on a specific allowance and contact your agency representative.  For DOD civilians as well as uniformed personnel, check here: https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/contacts.cfm

Contractors and other NGO employees:

We cannot answer questions related to contractors, since they, as NGO employees, are not directly covered by the Standardized Regulations.  They should review their contract and communicate directly with the contracting representative for assistance with questions on allowable expenses. Other NGOs' employees should check on allowances policy with their management.
