Connecticut Stipend Questions
What is the maximum housing stipend in Connecticut?
Stipend ceilings follow GSA per diem rates, set per city. Connecticut's average GSA lodging rate is $130/night — about $910/week or $3,952/month in tax-free housing allowance. Add the $69/day M&IE rate and the combined weekly ceiling is roughly $1,393. Individual cities run higher or lower.
Is my Connecticut stipend offer good?
Compare it to two numbers: the GSA ceiling for the assignment city (offers at the ceiling are maxed; offers well below have negotiating headroom) and the local one-bedroom rent (a stipend above rent is tax-free profit). The table on this page shows both for every Connecticut city we track.
Are travel nurse stipends taxable in Connecticut?
Stipends are federal-tax-free (and state-tax-free) when you maintain a qualifying tax home and work far enough away to need overnight lodging — the state doesn't change the IRS rules. Amounts above the GSA ceiling for your assignment ZIP are generally treated as taxable wages.
