I was originally told we were entitled to the additional moving expense.
But after about 3 weeks it was confirmed that we only get one moving allowance and that is the $45000 over 3 years. You only get one or the other but not both. With this money you do NOT have to submit receipts, period. Spend the money how you like.
However, we are able to get a small portion of the first $10,000 in an advance to us (this was discussed in the big transfer meeting we all had to attend for further details about the possible KCAP transfer), I think we have to visit the union hall or personnel to receive the advance. If you choose not to get the advance you will get the $10,000 when you report to work in KC (minus taxes of course).
Hope that helps.
PS. I do believe we will be able to write off moving expenses at tax time, keep records. That will help offset the taxes we will have to pay on the money we get.
