To uphold the Administration’s cost efficiency goals, GSA will keep the FY 2026 per diem reimbursement rates at the same level as FY 2025. This decision reflects the federal government’s commitment to being a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars, ensuring that federal funds are utilized appropriately, cost-effectively, and for core mission-related activities. The steady per diem rates are made possible by the reduction from the historically high inflationary pressures seen during the previous administration.

“Maintaining the FY 2026 per diem rates is a prudent step that reflects our commitment to responsible stewardship of taxpayer funds,” said Office of Government-wide Policy Associate Administrator Larry Allen. “GSA’s decision ensures cost-effective travel reimbursement while supporting the mission-critical mobility of the federal workforce.”

This action underscores GSA’s role in building a smarter, more efficient government, and reinforces our broader efforts in acquisition modernization, cost transparency and maximizing value for the American taxpayer.
