About Travel  FAQ Travel & Housing
Do you pay moving costs?
We don't cover moving costs, however we reimburse mileage for travel to your assignment up to $300 ($.20/mile) each way ($600 maximun round-trip). Though we don't pay for meals or hotels during your move, you may be able to deduct these expenses from your taxes. Ask your tax planner for more details.
Do you provide me with a rental car while on assignment?
No, but since we reimburse you for miles traveled to and from your assignment, you can take your own car at no cost to you.
How much subsidy will I receive?
Subsidy amounts depend on the area's cost of living; they're calculated on a monthly basis and paid every two weeks. Your Housing Specialist can give you the exact amount in your initial conversation.
If I stay with a friend or relative while on assignment, will I lose my housing allowance?
You're eligible for subsidy payments regardless of where you live.
Do I qualify for free housing if I travel with my family or pet?
Free housing is an option only if you're traveling alone. Otherwise, we can offer you a private apartment for a nominal fee. We'll need to know how many people are traveling with you (maximum of 5) to find the right accommodations. Pet deposits vary, and will be returned upon completion of your assignment if accommodations are clean and well maintained.
If I reside in Cross Country TravCorps' accommodations, are my personal items insured?
Unfortunately not, but give your insurance company a call: most offer short-term, inexpensive renters' policies that will cover your personal belongings.
Am I taxed on my subsidy payment?
If you have a permanent residence, you will not be taxed. If you do not have a permanent residence, taxes will be deducted from your subsidy. Please consult your tax advisor.
