Can a new ASU employee count on receiving a moving stipend before starting work?

DIRECT ANSWER

Source guidance recorded on 2026-10-15. Confirm the applicable policy year, cohort and property jurisdiction before relying on time-sensitive facts.

FIN 420–03 says moving/transition stipends are paid through payroll and cannot be paid before the employee’s first day of employment. Account for this timing when budgeting a move.
