Per Diem Rate Reviews

If there is evidence that the lodging or meal expenses in an overseas location are inconsistent with the prescribed per diem rate for that area, the command or AO must submit an original letter, identifying the location and nature of the problem. It should be sent to the appropriate activity listed in the JFTR par. U4179-B via (1) the appropriate command channels and (2) via the applicable department/office listed in par. U4179-A.

The same procedure applies when evidence exists that the lodging or meal expenses for a CONUS location are inconsistent with the prescribed per diem rate. A letter should be sent to the appropriate activity listed in the JTR par. C4551-B via (1) the appropriate Service/agency channels and (2) via the applicable department/office listed in par. C4551-A.

After determining the validity of the request, the activity/Service/agency may submit the request to the appropriate activity listed in par. U4179-B (JFTR) or C4551-B (JTR).

Because requests must contain original signatures they cannot be forwarded to DTMO through the home page. Additionally, all requests must contain the name of the city, county (if applicable), and state/country for which a review is requested. Letters without this information will not be acted upon.
