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 not no longer considered a tax-free reimbursement, Reliant supports new works and roles such as these through a moving bonus.

taxable moving allowance. 

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

(Please note: As you are working on the moving allowance, please also make sure you are filling out the Employment Changes and talking with your Program Team about your move.)

The goal of the allowance is not to cover all of the below expenses, but it is to help defray the cost for our employees. It is up to the field worker whether they take the entire allowance they are eligible for and how they use the allowance. Because this is a taxable allowance, we will not ask for a tracking of expenses for this allowance.

Examples of expenses that may be incurred during this time include:

• House Huntinghunting
• Transportation of Household Goodshousehold goods
• Shipment/Transfer transfer of Carscars
• Sale of Current Residencecurrent residence

• Temporary Livingliving
