I got a little confused and misguided by 2009 posts that if someone does not join by December 31 of a calender year then he would lose out on payment of his first calender year Repatriation travel allowance. I raised the issue with ASC, and this is the response I got.
"The payout for repat travel is paid out at the anniversary of your hire date for the first year of service. After the first year of service you are eligible to request the funds once per calendar year. For example; if you have a hire date of April 2014 you will be eligible for the first payout in April of 2015. Eligibility for the second payment is after Jan. 1, 2016."
Apparently this is a policy issue. As Vpainter and others have advised on several posts, that always get verification from relocation advisors or recruiters regarding issues of policy. They could vary from country to country and also their could be updates and revisions of policy from time to time.
