About this file
This document is a Department of State Post Classification and Payment Tables section detailing danger pay and post differential rates for various international locations effective May 19, 2024. The document provides comprehensive tables listing danger pay percentages for different countries and specific regions, with effective dates ranging from 2010 to 2024. Key details include:
The tables categorize locations by geographic region and specify danger pay rates for U.S. government employees, including rates for specific agencies like DEA, FBI, US Marshals Service, and federal civilian employees accompanying military forces. Rates vary by location, with some areas receiving higher percentages (e.g., Afghanistan and Syria at 35%) and others receiving lower rates (e.g., Colombia at 15%). The document also includes footnotes explaining special circumstances for danger pay calculations, such as imminent danger pay for military-accompanied employees and provisions for employees serving in conflict zones or politically unstable regions.

POST CLASSIFICATION AND PAYMENT TABLES SECTION 920
FOOTNOTES TO SECTION 920
Explanations on how to use the post classification and payment tables are included in Section 920 of these regulations.
Effective: 05/19/2024 (TL:SR 1099 Footnote d changes) d - No current cost information is available as all U.S. Government employees are in government owned or leased housing. Any USG organization with employees eligible for the LQA should submit housing cost information to the Department of State as required by Section 072 and 077 of these regulations. Until more suitable housing cost information can be used to establish LQA rates for the locality, the generic default rates set 02/25/2024 have been applied:
LQA GROUPS 2 3 4
WF 21700 19700 17700
WOF 20700 17700 15800
e – The LQA rates are established for the benefit of only a few or no current employees and therefore do not necessarily represent overall local quarter costs. (See Sections 072 and 077 for information on the reporting of housing cost data.) Effective April 22, 2012, these LQA rates were revised to reflect the current footnote d rates.
n - An employee who serves for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days or more on detail (Section 511c) in Afghanistan (effective 12/16/01), Iraq (effective 3/23/03) or Syria (effective 2/04/2018), may be granted the post differential at the prescribed rate for the number of days served, beginning with the first day of detail.
p - In addition to the listed post differential rate, employees are eligible for danger pay allowance, DSSR (652f), as shown below:
