Subject: Correction to Allowance and Post Differential Reclassifications Tl:sr-696 (Part B)
Ref: A) State 119287;
b) Section 920 Standardized Regulations (GC,fa)
1. The biweekly Allowance and Post Differential Reclassification cable issued November 7th (Reftel A) included an automated quarterly adjustment of Living Quarters Allowance (LQA) rates based on exchange rate changes. During a manual revalidation of selected rates, Office of Allowances staff determined that there were inconsistencies in the way the automated system rounded some of the adjusted LQA rates. The Allowances staff has, therefore, manually recalculated the LQA rates and processed adjustments for the LQA Groups/Locations where the technical glitch caused an incorrect rounding. The manual adjustments result in less than a 1% increase in the authorized LQA rates – usually increases of $100 but for a couple of locations up to $200.
2. The corrected LQA rates as shown below, will carry an effective date of November 9, 2008. The corrected rates will also be incorporated into the biweekly cable issued November 21st as many agencies use that cable to update automated systems. The Office of Allowances is working with the software developer to identify and correct the source of the miscalculation in the LQA roundings prior to the next scheduled LQA quarterly adjustment in February 2009.
3. The published LQA rates for November 9, 2008, on the State Department internet and intranet sites have been adjusted to reflect the corrected rates
