📌 CAF MEMBERS: DON’T MISS THIS NON-TAXABLE RELOCATION BENEFIT
Did the interest rate on your new mortgage increase after you sold your home and discharged your previous mortgage?
Under CAFRD 8.3.12, eligible members may claim the Mortgage Interest Differential from the Core Account, up to a maximum of $5,000.
Even better: this is a non-taxable benefit.
The calculation considers:
• The interest rate on your new mortgage
• The interest rate on your discharged mortgage
• The months remaining on your discharged mortgage
• The applicable mortgage principal
This benefit can be easily overlooked. Remember to include it when completing your relocation claims.
