Ref: Section 920 Standardized Regulations (GC,FA)

Effective April 21, 2024, unless otherwise noted, allowances and/or post differential rates are revised as shown. These changes are issued under TL:SR-1097.

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.

Effective April 21, 2024, the Danger Pay Review Board (DPRB) approved the elimination of danger pay for Cairo, Egypt and "Other", Turkey. The DPRB approved to keep danger pay in Israel and move from an off-cycle review to a regular-cycle review effective April 6, 2024. The DPRB approved to keep danger pay in Haiti at a 35 percent rate and move from an off-cycle review to a regular-cycle review. The DPRB approved to add danger pay to additional "other" locations in Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, and Nigeria. The DPRB approved the continuation of danger pay for all other posts and locations currently receiving danger pay. For the complete list and specific locations see Footnote "p" of section 920 on the Office of Allowances website.

The Post (Hardship) Differential change for Cairo, Egypt is based on administrative interim review to restore political violence and terrorism credit due to the elimination of danger pay. The Post (Hardship) Differential changes for Adana-Incirlik, Gaziantep, Izmir-Cigli, and Other, Turkey are based on removal of administrative post differential rate.

The Assistant Secretary for Administration has reauthorized the 35% Administrative Post (Hardship) Differential for Haiti effective April 21, 2024. The 35% Administrative Post (Hardship) Differential will terminate on July 28, 2024.

LQA changes are based on currency exchange rate information reported to the Office of Allowances as of the first Thursday of Pay Period 8 (April 11, 2024).

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 8 (April 11, 2024).

The Education "At Post" Allowance rate changes are based on updated information provided by Post for the 2023/2024 school year. 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.

The White House and the Secretary of State have made it a priority to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workforce and institutional culture. To support this initiative, the Office of Allowances has updated the Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR) chapters to be inclusive with using gender-neutral pronouns.
