2010 Per Diem Rates
Attending an IT conference or planning other official travel this next fiscal year? The General Services Administration on Monday released fiscal 2010 per diem rates, which will go into effect on Oct. 1. Most rates will increase marginally, but in some of the 402 areas where rates exceed the nationwide standard of $70, per diems will decrease slightly. Per diem for meals and incidentals, however, will increase in fiscal 2010, ranging from $46 to $71, depending on location. The incidental expense rate will increase from $3 to $5.
