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

Licensing

Michigan is not a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so you need a Michigan license to work here even if you hold a multistate license.
