1. Residence - If you plan to rent a house or apartment during your stay, you should notify Reliant of your US address and may be responsible for certain state taxes. (See the section below for more information on taxes)
2. Job Description - If you are staying in the US to perform work/ministry duties other than typical furlough activities, please send in an updated job description.
3. Sabbatical - If you are taking a sabbatical, please fill out the Sabbatical Request Form.
4. Salary/Expenses - We recommend updating your Support Goal Worksheet or submitting a Hardship Bonus to reflect any difference in financial needs during a longer stay in the US.
5. Insurance - Your Aetna coverage will continue while you are on an extended furlough, but with significant differences.
   
   1. Deductible - When in the United States, there is a deductible applied to your plan. Please familiarize yourself with the details of the Aetna plan while in the United States.
   2. In-network vs. Out-of-network - When in the United States, Aetna distinguishes between expenses incurred within the Aetna network and expenses incurred out of their network. Out-of-network expenses have a completely separate deductible and are covered at a lesser rate. Please check with your healthcare provider to determine if they are within the Aetna network before receiving treatment.
   3. Long-term Stays - If you are in the United States for a full calendar year, without a clear plan to return overseas, Reliant may ask you to switch to the U.S. insurance plan. A missionary may move of their own choice at the end of the first calendar year in the US.
