Reliant employees Missionaries often move into new missional locations for the purpose of the gospel. Examples of this would be moving for a church plant, a role at a different church, or a new ministry being set up in a new location. Though these moving costs are no longer considered a tax-free reimbursement, Reliant supports new works and roles such as these through a taxable moving bonusallowance

Full-Time 40 and 30 hour/week employees are eligible for the full moving bonusallowance. Part Time 25 and 20 hour employees are eligible for a partial bonusallowance. Hourly missionaries field workers are not eligible for the moving bonusallowance.

(Please Notenote: As you are working on the moving bonusallowance, please also make sure you are filling out the Missionary Change Notification FormEmployment Changes and talking with Missionary Resources your Program Team about your move.)

The goal of the bonus allowance is not to cover all of the below expenses, but it is to help defray the cost for our missionariesemployees. It is up to the missionary field worker whether or not they take the entire bonus allowance they are eligible for , and how they use the bonus. We allowance.
