- Next, select the annual salary you want to approve (you can see your max approval to the right)
- Note: You can accept a lower salary than offered, but not one that is higher
- If you have a FICA bonus, your offered salary has been cleaned up in Toolbox and works slightly differently.
  - Toolbox will add your FICA bonus to your salary in your final goal.
  - In the past, in Staffnet, we would offer you a salary that had salary and FICA combined, and Staffnet would subtract out FICA.
  - Now we offer you a salary before the FICA bonus, and we add the bonus on top of that, which is more logical and mirrors how FICA should work.
  - Please reach out to your liaison if you run into questions.

Fixed goals are built to calculate expenses for a resident/intern with predetermined start and end dates (e.g. 24 months). Residents/interns with fixed goals may see the following expense options. If you don't see an expense listed below, it's because it is not an offered or required expense for your program.

Note about Updating Your Support Goal in Toolbox**

...

Currently, when you create a new support goal, it will NOT auto-populate the numbers you had previously summited. We hope to have this feature available in the future, but for now, we ask that you take a quick screenshot of your current goal to be able to review it as you make changes.

In the support goal section

...

of Toolbox, you'll be able to see your current goal. You can also create a new goal at any time if something in your program has changed. These goals will need to be approved by the Reliant Central Team, so be sure to communicate with your liaison when you make changes for things to be approved promptly.
