Living Quarters Allowance (LQA): This is a reimbursement granted to an employee to help defray the annual cost of suitable, adequate living quarters for the employee and his/her family at a foreign post where government-leased or -owned housing is not provided. It is adjusted every pay period for changes in monetary exchange rates. LQA eligibility is categorized by "quarters groups" based on the employee's grade level or rank and his/her family size.
