The federal ceiling on tax-free lodging reimbursement in Rock Island is $110 per night, plus up to $68 a day for meals (GSA, FY2026). GSA names roughly 300 higher-cost destinations individually; Rock Island is not one, so the national standard rate applies. That is a maximum, not what agencies pay.
