Separation allowance

The University president or his or her authorized agent must approve separation allowances in writing.

Separation allowance is an option, for example, where a beneficiary who is willing to move is prevented from relocating immediately due to a lack of housing and thus incurs additional costs for double housekeeping, maintaining the apartment at the previous place of employment, or storing part of their home furnishings.

 Find further information in the Guidelines for the Granting of a Separation Allowance (PDF).
