  • I am ordained and DO participate in Social Security - An additional 15.3% will be added as a FICA Bonus. Reliant will not deduct this amount from your paycheck. ,You are responsible to save and plan accordingly to cover these taxes at tax time.

Additional Allowance for Federal Income Tax : This defaults to 10%, but you are encouraged to think through your own federal tax obligations and change as necessary.

titleTiming
Next Available Paycheck : The form should default to the next available paycheck. Allowances must be requested by the end of the month to appear on the following months paycheck. You may choose a later date if you want.

Do you need the money earlier? : Due to the extensive process for advancing funds, this option will only appear on the form where the bonuses is higher than 2,000. If you select "yes", you'll see some additional fields pop up at the bottom of the form.

Next Available Advance : We have a normal rhythm of processing advances on the last Friday of the month. That date will populate at the bottom. If you do need funds sooner than the next paycheck and the next advance date, share the form with international@reliant.org and let us know your need.

Advance Amount : This is only the allowance amount, without the additional amount for taxes. The full amount will still be on your next paycheck, but there will be an "After tax deduction" of the amount you were advanced, so that you are not paid twice.
