The 50 mile limit

[stepaukob]

According to Massachusetts DHCFP regulations 114.3 CMR 45.00

Employees that

(1) work exclusively at a particular health care facility for a

specified period of at least 90 days pursuant to a contract between the provider and a Temporary Nursing Agency;

(2) must relocate a distance of at least 200 miles and establish a temporary residence for the contract term to work

at the contracting provider and

(3) incur expenses for temporary accommodations paid by the agency. Providers

are required to maintain documentation concerning fixed-term travel employees for a period of two years following

the expiration of the contract.

Does this mean I would not benefit from housing stipend if I didn't work more than 200 miles away? I wanted to try traveling closer so I could come home more often.

You would be able to get a housing stipend, but it would be considered taxable income & subject to have income taxes deducted from it.....
