The NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) manages reimbursement services for all authorized agency travel, encompassing domestic, foreign, local, Extended Temporary Duty (ETDY), and Change of Station (COS) assignments. The center provides a centralized resource for employees to navigate federal regulations and internal agency procedures.
For employees undergoing a Change of Station, the NSSC offers specific documentation and submission processes for both CONUS (continental United States) and OCONUS (outside the continental United States) relocations. The agency provides a variety of standardized forms, including service agreements and authorization documents, to assist personnel in managing relocation expenses and tax-related requirements.
Regarding domestic travel, NASA maintains specific policies on per diem rates and vehicle usage. Travelers returning to their permanent duty station are eligible for 75% of the Meals and Incidental Expenses (M&IE) rate on their final day of travel. Employees using rental cars are reminded that the government only covers costs associated with official business; any expenses incurred during personal leave or unauthorized use remain the responsibility of the traveler. Furthermore, employees are encouraged to consult GSA resources to verify state tax exemption statuses prior to departure.
For ETDY assignments, NASA sets a standard reduced per diem rate of 65 percent, as outlined in NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) 9750.1. This rate is intended to cover expenses for furnished, one-bedroom accommodations. For stays exceeding 90 days, the agency prioritizes the use of long-term lodging facilities available through the GSA schedule. Foreign travel remains subject to the Code of Federal Regulations and specific NASA procedural requirements, with additional support available through the NSSC Contact Center.
