Ref: Section 920 Standardized Regulations (GC,fa)
Effective April 27, 2008, unless otherwise noted, allowances and/or post differential rates are revised as shown. These changes will be Part B of TL:SR-689.
Please inform local offices of all U.S. government agencies at the posts listed in this cable.
Effective April 27, 2008, as part of its migration to eAllowances, the Office of Allowances will begin using the WebPASS reference tables for country/post names. We will cease using abbreviations and short-name designations of posts in the biweekly telegram. Complete post entries will also be shown in the full Table of Allowances DSSR Section 920. See paragraph 10 below for a listing of those country names which will change based on WebPASS formatting.
Important: Read this entire message as posts may be listed more than once. Changes are listed by allowance or differential rather than by post.
Taiwan has been included, when applicable, under arrangement with the American Institute in Taiwan.
The Post (Hardship) Differential change for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia is based on a Post Differential Questionnaire submitted by Addis Ababa.
The Living Quarters Allowance changes for Canada, France and Japan are based on updated Living Quarters Expenditure data. All other Living Quarters Allowance changes result from application of “footnote d” rates given the absence of Living Quarters Expenditure data.
The Post Allowance changes for Muscat, Oman and Udorn, Thailand are based on Retail Price Surveys submitted by Muscat and Udorn, respectively. All Post Allowance changes are based on currency exchange rate information reported to the Office of Allowances as of the first Thursday of Pay Period 8 (April 17, 2008).
The Education “At-Post” Allowance rate changes are based on new information supplied by posts for the 2007-2008 school year.
Effective April 27, 2008, as part of the migration to eAllowances, the listings for the following countries will be amended in the DSSR 920 Table of Allowances:
