4.

Enter the month and the year for which the employee is being paid a monthly wage guarantee or allowance. If a guaranteed wage will

the RRB is entitled to reimbursement of the amount of benefits paid for days in the same period for which the employee is paid for time
lost, or the amount of the guarantee or pay for time lost award, whichever is less. I t is important to complete this section so that the
RRB can determine if the amount due is less than the amount of benefits paid for the period.
