# 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)

[a]{.underline} -- effective April 20, 2003

[b]{.underline} -- effective May 4, 2003

[c]{.underline} -- Changes were effective on both of the above dates.
The allowance or other revision printed in this Section 920 was
effective May 4, 2003. The changes effective April 20, 2003 are listed
at the end of these footnotes.

[d]{.underline} - No current cost information is available as all U.S.
Government employees are in Government owned or leased housing. Any US
Government 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, effective 3/09/03 the following
LQA rates are authorized:

  ------------------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ---------
  LQA GROUPS                            2            3            4

                           WF           13300        12100        10900

                           WOF          12700        10900        9700
  ------------------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ---------

[e]{.underline} -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.)

[g]{.underline} - The following are within the Tokyo-To (Kanagawa-Ken)
area: Atsugi, Camp Zama, Fussa, Machida-Shi, Sagamihara, Tachikawa and
Yokota AB.

[h]{.underline} - When payment is made directly to a DOD school rather
than as an education allowance to the employee, such payment must be
considered to be in lieu of

the education allowance. Thus, an employee whose child changes schools
(DOD school, local school, U.S. school) during a school year, must
deduct any

payment made, or to be made, directly to the DOD school on the child\'s
behalf from these rates. An employee cannot be granted or have paid on
his/her

child\'s behalf, an amount greater than the rates published for any one
school year.

[m]{.underline} - The \'away from post\' rate of \$31,050 is for use
only in attending schools located outside of South Africa. The school
\'at post\' rate may be used in

attending day or boarding schools in South Africa.

[n]{.underline} - An employee who serves for a period of 42 consecutive
calendar days or more on detail (Section 511c) in **Afghanistan
(effective 12/16/01), Iraq (effective 3/23/03),**

**and Kuwait (effective 3/23/03)** may be granted the post differential
at the prescribed rate for the number of days served, beginning with the
first day of detail.

[p]{.underline} - In addition to the listed post differential rate,
employees are eligible for danger pay allowance, DSSR (652f), as shown
below:
