| CTD for CAP 39-24(R), Removal of Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expenses Actual Expense (TQSE (AE)) | On May 7, 2024, the General Services Administration (GSA) published new regulations in the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) affecting Title 41 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 300-2, 302-6, and 302-17. These changes established Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expenses “Lodgings Plus” (TQSE (LP)) as the preferred reimbursement method and granted the DoD the authority to discontinue use of TQSE Actual Expense (TQSE (AE)). The DoD has determined that TQSE (AE) is unnecessary, redundant, and administratively burdensome. As a result, this item will remove TQSE (AE) as a reimbursement option. Instead, the DoD will offer TQSE (LP) as the preferred reimbursement method and TQSE Lump Sum (TQSE (LS)) as a second option. When compared with TQSE (AE), the new TQSE (LP) method results in a more efficient process for the civilian employee, travel examiner, and certifying official by significantly reducing the administrative burden of maintaining, submitting, and reviewing itemized subsistence expenses and receipts.
