When requesting payment of partial per diem, UNT uses the meal-by-meal percentage breakdown for breakfast (24% in a state of travel at 7:00 AM) , lunch (32% in a state of travel at 12:00 PM) and dinner (44% in a state of travel at 6:00 PM.) This breakdown is different from that provided on the GSA site (shown below.) Note: The GSA site lists a per diem rate for lodging. Be advised that UNT does not pay per diem lodging. This number should only be used as a guide for determining competitive lodging rates. UNT will only reimburse lodging expenses with a valid receipt from a commercial lodging establishment that has been approved for payment by all required signature authorities. Please see the Travel Guide for more information.

Federal travel regulations are typically updated on October
