The security evacuation allowance is payable for eligible internationally recruited staff members and their eligible family members as follows:

 

(a) In respect of the staff member, $200 per day for up to 30 days and thereafter $150 per day until the staff member returns to the duty station or is reassigned to another location, or for a maximum period of six months, whichever occurs first;

 

(b) In respect of each eligible family member residing at the duty station, $100 per day for up to 30 days and thereafter $75 per day until the staff member returns to the duty station, or for a maximum period of six months, which ever occurs first;

 

(c) If the staff member is authorized to return to the duty station and some or all eligible family members are not authorized to return or are unable to return owing to specific “family restrictions” that may be put in force for security purposes, or if the staff member is sent on mission (and receives the relevant daily subsistence allowance), the first eligible family member will be entitled to the higher rate of evacuation allowance ($200 or $150 per day, as applicable).

 

In addition, for the purpose of facilitating a small shipment of personal effects (and incidentals including terminal expenses), a single lump sum of $500 would apply when the staff member who was installed at the duty station is evacuated or his or her eligible family members are evacuated. It is a one-time payment for the staff member and all of his or her eligible family members, even if they are evacuated at different times (A/68/30, Annex VII)
