Fund Number: The MTD fund you are responsible for.

What is your ordination status? : This helps us determine how much Social Security taxes to add to the bonus, if applicable. You will need to choose a dropdown option.

  • I am not ordained - The form will default to this, since this is the status for most international workers. 
  • I am ordained and DO participate in Social Security - Select this if you have submitted an ordination certificate to Reliant, but have not opted out of Social Security with the IRS. If you receive the FICA bonus on your paycheck, you are in this category.
  • I am ordained and have opted out of Social Security - Only select this option if you have submitted FORM 4029 to officially opt out of Social Security.  


What paycheck would you like this bonus to be added to? : The form should default to the next available paycheck. Allowances must be requested by the 16th of the month to appear on the following months paycheck. You may choose a later date if you want.

Do you need the money before your next paycheck? : Select "Yes" if you need your funds early. Typically, we can advance the funds within 5 business days, or by the date requested. In cases of more urgent need, there may be a $10 charge to the MTD fund. 

By what date do you need the funds : If you select that you need the funds early, you will need to enter the date by which you need the funds. This will determine if we can include it in a normal batch of processing, or if it is a more urgent need.
