[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's projected to be a fast move, the spouse has to find work, you have to find someplace to live and someone to buy your house in the DC area.

[b]And you have to pay for it all yourself. [/b]On a federal salary, while still living in the DC area and replacing your spouses lost income. [/quote]

Technically not the case.  :oops: Pretty ballsy that the scientists still won't move. The area must be sub-par.

[b]According to the USDA’s cost / benefit analysis, @USDA_ERS & @USDA_NIFA employees were offered $50,000 to cover “residential real estate, transport & storage of household goods, and travel” from DC to KC for the employee AND family.

The average home in KC costs $150 grand, BTW.[/b]

It's even better than that.  They aren't giving them $50k; that's the number that they used to estimate the overall costs.  Government relocation includes a house hunting trip (including spouse), real estate closing costs on the home here, shipment of goods, transportation to the new duty station, temporary quarters, etc.  A government relocation is a sweet deal.[/quote]

It is taxed as income though. [/quote]
