Correction to Revised Non-Foreign Overseas Per Diem Rates for Puerto Rico
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) issued a correction notice to a per diem rate table originally published on March 31, 2026 in the Federal Register. The original notice contained a date error in the table covering Puerto Rico locations, where the effective date was incorrectly listed as 03/01/2026 instead of the correct date of 04/01/2026. The correction reprints the entire revised per diem rate table to ensure accurate implementation of the new rates. The substantive per diem rates themselves are unchanged — only the effective date for Puerto Rico entries is being corrected. This notice affects U.S. government employees and military personnel traveling to or stationed in non-foreign overseas locations, particularly Puerto Rico, who rely on these rates for travel reimbursement purposes.
