How often can I submit relocation expenses for reimbursement?
There is no limit to the number of expense reports that you can file. However, we suggest that you submit your expenses biweekly. The nature of the expense is still fresh in your mind, and there is less chance of misplacing receipts. Submitting expenses biweekly means that you will be "out of pocket" the shortest time possible.

Does Interstate Relocation Service, Inc. (IRSI) reimburse my relocation expenses by direct deposit into my checking account?
Yes. There is a 15-day waiting period between submitting the application for direct deposit and the effective date. All payments made during the waiting period are paid by paper check.

How do I know if I will be reimbursed in full for the expenses submitted?
Once your expense reports are audited for compliance with your company's relocation policy, IRSI e-mails the results of that audit and an explanation for any item that was disallowed or changed from the amount you requested.

How long does it normally take to process an expense report?
We allow 15 days from receipt of the completed expense report to payment by check or electronic transfer

What responsibility do I have if a relocation expense has been approved for direct payment by IRSI?
If a relocation expense has been approved for direct invoicing, you are not responsible for payment. The invoice will come directly to IRSI and will be paid from the funds in your relocation budget.

How does my relocation affect my tax liability?
Each transferee receives a Relocation Tax Report in January. This report identifies all money paid on behalf of or directly to the transferee during the tax year. A Relocation Tax Advisor booklet, which answers the most common questions concerning relocation tax issues, accompanies the RTR form.
