Moving and Relocation

Moving resources

  • ComPsych Guidance Resources has tips on finding a home, planning a move, renting versus buying and so forth. This resource is free through UMBC’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP). To access this online resource you need to use our company ID: USMEAP.
  • The Moving Expense Best Practices page maintained by UMBC’s Business Services was developed for departmental personnel to facilitate the payment of moving expenses, but it does have some important deadlines and guidance about what is reimbursable and what is not for faculty who are moving.
  • Some moving companies offer discounts for teachers: Budget truck rentals are 20% off on local moves and 15% off on one-way moves; Monster Movers offers 5% off all moves.

Banking

The State Employees Credit Union (SECU) of Maryland offers employees free checking, share savings, direct deposit, convenient payroll deduction, ATM services, new and used auto loans, and other financial services.
