The federal ceiling on tax-free lodging reimbursement in Springfield is $110 per night, plus up to $68 a day for meals (GSA, FY2026). GSA names roughly 300 higher-cost destinations individually; Springfield is not one, so the national standard rate applies. That is a maximum, not what agencies pay.
Massachusetts has enacted the Nurse Licensure Compact but has not implemented it, so a multistate license does not cover you here yet. You need a Massachusetts license.
