INSTRUCTIONS
You will receive all benefits due you for the year if your total annual earning do not exceed the limit shown in the letter
attached to this form. If you earn more than the annual limit, then $1 will be deducted from your benefits for each $2 you
earn over that limit.
Item 2A - Gross Earnings Last Year
Enter your total gross wages for January through December of last year in the block provided. You must enter all wages
earned for the entire year, even if you received REPS benefits for only part of the year.
Your total gross wages for last year are generally the same as the highest dollar amount shown on your form(s) W-2 for that
year. Total gross wages include cash pay, cash tips of $20 or more a month for one employer, certain wages-in-kind (unless
you are a domestic or farm worker), bonuses, commissions, fees, vacation pay in lieu of action, severance pay, and most sick
pay. You must include this income, even if it is not shown on your form(s) W-2. (Examples of income you do not have to
report are listed below.)
Add the total net earnings (or loss) from self-employment as shown (or will be shown) on your Federal income tax return
(Schedule SE, Form 1040). If you report your income on a fiscal year basis, explain in Item 8. Be sure to show beginning
and ending dates of fiscal year.
Item 2B - Anticipated Gross Earnings This Year
If you expect to have earnings this year from wages, self-employment, or both, enter the highest amount you estimate you
will earn in the box provided. If you do not expect to have any earnings, write "NONE" in the box. DO NOT leave the box
blank. If you cannot furnish an estimate, enter "UNKNOWN."
IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE ITEM 2B, NO BENEFIT CAN BE PAID FOR THE CURRENT YEAR UNTIL YOU FILE
A REPORT OF EARNINGS.
If you sold or transferred your business last year (or plan to do so in the current year), explain in Item 8. You may be asked
for information or documents concerning the transaction.

• Pension and other retirement payments
• Investment income, unless you are a dealer in securities
• Interest from savings accounts
