Settling Residential Costs

The costs involved in moving and relocating can be overwhelming. Because we want you to be able to focus on learning about and becoming acclimated to your new job, Y‑12 has reimbursement assistance for many of the costs associated with relocating your home to the Knoxville area.

As a relocating employee, you are reimbursed for those expenses associated with your relocation for which are recognized as both necessary and reasonable. For example, these expenses include transportation, house hunting, shipping of your possessions, trips home, settling in your new home, selling your old home, and acquiring a new home.

Keep in mind that, with the relocation assistance program, all aspects of your relocation process must be completed within 2 years from your date of employment or transfer. And, all reimbursement of expenses will stop if your employment is terminated.

To receive reimbursement for your expenses, you must complete the Relocation Expense Report (UCN-13A, PDF). Also remember that your reimbursement expenses must be submitted within 90 days of the date when these expenses incurred.
