If a uniformed member is TDY and stays in Government quarters with all meals available, which meal rate is applicable?

The Government Meal Rate is applicable in this scenario because the uniformed member is in Temporary Duty (TDY) status and is staying in Government quarters where all meals are provided. When service members are accommodated in Government facilities that offer meals, the applicable reimbursement does not rely on the per diem meal rates typically assigned for nonspecific lodging and meals. Instead, the Government Meal Rate is established to reflect the actual accommodation and meal provision circumstances, making it the correct choice for this situation.

Understanding this helps clarify how reimbursement policies work regarding official travel, specifically how meal rates are determined based on the availability of meals in Government quarters.
