# Can I Have a One-Time Taxable Disbursements

**What is a one-time taxable disbursement?**

A one-time taxable disbursement is an early payout that can be sent which does not affect a missionary’s monthly budget.

**When is a one-time taxable disbursement used?**

This can be used for special requests such as:

- Paying for a car
- Paying a tax bill
- Paying a tax lawyer for services rendered
- Covering extra living expenses tied to a specific need

**What is reviewed before approval?**

Before a one-time taxable disbursement is approved, the remaining year-to-date budget is reviewed, along with the specific request. The MDM Finance Committee reserves the right to review all early payout requests.

For larger requests, documentation may be requested. Receipts should be attached when applicable.

**How is the request handled?**

1. The request is submitted for review.
2. The remaining year-to-date budget is checked and if needed, supporting documentation is reviewed.
3. If approved, the payment is sent as a one-time taxable reimbursement.
4. The payment may be sent separately or together with other scheduled payments, depending on timing.
5. Our Finance team issues early payments on Tuesdays and Fridays.

**Does a one-time taxable disbursement affect the budget?**

No. It is sent as a reimbursement so it does not affect the budget.
