For housing near James Madison University, what repayment risk comes with leaving JMU soon after receiving a relocation stipend?
DIRECT ANSWER
A discretionary waiver is not guaranteed; gross recovery is described elsewhere in the policy. Source as of: 2026-10-16 Use cited page body and explicit policy period. A page update date does not extend an expired rate or deadline. Confirm current requirements and the actual student, employee, household or property circumstances with the cited authority. No property inventory or named professional is assigned by this answer.
Departure before 12 months requires full repayment. Departure after 12 months but before 24 complete months triggers prorated repayment, reduced by one-twelfth of the total stipend for each full month served after the first 12. JMU may waive repayment for separation beyond the employee's control; termination for cause is excluded from that description.
