• The Ministry Expense Bonus amounts have changed. Previously, the ME bonus was broken down into individual expense category maximum amounts. This will no longer be required. Reliant is now asking U.S. field workers to determine the appropriate total ME Bonus amount (up to a specific, designated monthly total) based on the amount needed for the individual. In addition to this change, we have separated monthly phone service expenses. This allows you to receive funds to cover the monthly phone expense as non-taxable.  Please If your role at Reliant is eligible for this type of bonus, please review Ministry Expense Bonuses for more details on the ME bonus and monthly phone service changes before submitting a new support goal. The ability to create a new support goal (for U.S. field workers that are career workers not in an internship or residency program) using the new ME bonus and monthly phone service amounts will be available for submission on Staffnet beginning mid-late December. 
• Computers, Equipment, Mobile Phones, and Some Furniture- These items used to be 100% taxable. In the future, they will be 75 % reimbursable (non-taxable) and 25% ERB (taxable) with the requirement that you intend to continue working with Reliant (at 20 hours or more for the next 12 months). We have also increased the max limits to be greater and changed the number of years before you can purchase these items again. Please review the Standard for specific details for each type. 
• Local mileage for necessary ministry-related trips is now 50 miles each way from the starting ministry location rather than 100 miles.
• Moving forward, Spiritual & Ministry Planning Retreats will require the submission of a Personal Development Plan (PDP). A PDP will be submitted and reviewed as a tab in the regular annual Job Description form and process. 
• Others - you will find these and many other minor changes highlighted directly on the Standard Page.
