(Explanations on how
to use the post classification and payment tables are included in Section 920
of these regulations)
a – effective June 15, 2003
c – None.
d - No current cost information is available as all U.S. Government employees are in Government owned or leased housing. Any US Government 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 3/09/03 the following LQA rates are authorized:

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.)
g - The following are within the Tokyo-To (Kanagawa-Ken) area: Atsugi, Camp Zama, Fussa, Machida-Shi, Sagamihara, Tachikawa and Yokota AB.
h - When payment is made directly to a DOD school rather than as an education allowance to the employee, such payment must be considered to be in lieu of
the education allowance. Thus, an employee whose child changes schools (DOD school, local school, U.S. school) during a school year, must deduct any
payment made, or to be made, directly to the DOD school on the child's behalf from these rates. An employee cannot be granted or have paid on his/her
child's behalf, an amount greater than the rates published for any one school year.
m - The 'away from post' rate of $33,650 is for use only in attending schools located outside of South Africa. The school 'at post' rate may be used in
attending day or boarding schools in South Africa.
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), Iraq (effective 3/23/03),
and Kuwait (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.
p - In addition to the listed post differential rate, employees are eligible for danger pay allowance, DSSR (652f), as shown below:
