• They will also add the cost of these monthly premiums to their International Support Goal Worksheet (SGW) in Section A – Monthly Salary. It will then be paid out to the missionary as additional taxable salary.

Reimbursement of short-term supplemental health insurance travel policy for furlough/home service while in the U.S.

Reliant international missionaries who opt out of the Reliant health plan, will be eligible to taxably reimburse 100 percent of the cost of a short-term supplemental health insurance travel policy for traveling for themselves and their family members (e.g., to the USA for their 2 -3 month furlough). The missionary will need to submit this expense on a Reliant ministry reimbursement form as a taxable reimbursement. Any costs for medical claims that are incurred on furlough or while traveling, that not covered by their short-term supplemental health insurance travel policy will be 100 percent the responsibility of the missionary.

WARNING: Many online insurance carriers, who offer short-term supplemental health insurance travel policies, only offer limited coverage with limits or exclusions on many pre-existing conditions. Please make sure you are completely aware of these important details of the coverage and its limitations.
