This money was not reimbursed until I submitted receipts for my actual expenses. Essentially I had to have my own out-of-pocket funds in order to move. As far as I know, this is fairly common. Several of my classmates in grad school had similar packages as we all relocated throughout the country.

I have a question regarding a lump sum offer for relocation I was offered this morning along with my job offer. I was offered, lets say, a lump sum of $20,000.00 and an additional amount of $5,000.00 to cover the costs of relocation. However, I was told that I would receive the monies on my first bi-weekly paycheck, meaning I would have to be on the job for two weeks before I would receive the sum of money for moving expenses. I am unable to move without the lump sum given to me prior to cover the costs of moving, i.e., apartment hunting trip, flying to the destination, hotel expenses, rental car, etc. Have you ever heard of this type of offer? I have relocated twice in the past 30 years and I was always given the lump sum prior to my move. Thank you, Jennifer Good Morning.
