Payment of a ministry expense may be completed through the following types of submission requests:

Reimbursement: Submission of expenses that qualify under IRS guidance as non-taxable reimbursable business expenses are referred to as a “Reimbursement.” Please note that , although Reliant Reimbursements are processed in such a way that they are not included in the employee's taxable income, the employee bears ultimate responsibility for her/his income tax return(s), including the proper tax treatment of all payments received from Reliant, and should consult with her/his tax adviser as needed to determine the appropriate reporting and treatment of such payments.

Expense Recovery Bonus:   Submissions requesting recovery of expenses that do not qualify for non-taxable reimbursement under IRS guidance are referred to as “Expense Recovery Bonus” or ERB. ERB payments take the form of a bonus, which will be treated as additional taxable wages (compensation) for the field staff. Since only paid employees can receive a taxable bonus, associates are not eligible to submit a request for an ERB or any expense with a taxable (ERB) component.
