† Note: Per diem rates are determined based on Fiscal Year which runs from October 2022 to September 2023.

Traveling for the government is referred to as Temporary Duty, or TDY. A TDY trip for which per-diems are issued can last up to 180 consecutive days before it's considered Permanent Change of Station (PCS), and no longer eligible for per-diems.

Updated per diem rates are released every fiscal year by the GSA based on a national study of accommodation and meal costs, and can vary month-to-month due to seasonal pricing changes or stay the same throughout the year depending on the area in question.

The per diem rates in the West Point area are fixed on a yearly basis, due to relatively static seasonal food and lodging rates.

Per Diem Meals & Incidentals Rate
The federal government provides one lodging per-diem for each night traveled, and one meals & incidentals per-diem for each full day traveled. However, on your first and last days of travel, you may be issued only half of the meal / daily per diem rate.
If you spend less then the $64.00 meals & incidentals per diem in any day, you get to keep the remainder.

There are a total of nineteen areas in New York for which location specific per-diem rates is set by the GSA.
