Page History
Missionaries Field workers 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 note: As you are working on the moving bonusallowance, please also make sure you are filling out the Missionary Employment Changes and talking with 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 missionariesfield workers. It is up to the missionary field worker whether they take the entire bonus allowance they are eligible for and how they use the bonusallowance. Because this is a taxable bonusallowance, we will not ask for a tracking of expenses for this bonusallowance.
Examples of expenses that may be incurred during this time include:
- House hunting
- Transportation of household goods
- Shipment/transfer of cars
- Sale of current residence
- Rental/lease cancellation
- Temporary living
- Closing costs on destination residence
- Storage of household goods
- En route/final move expenses
