Earnings Test

• No unemployment or sickness benefits payable for any day railroad or nonrailroad pay is received
• Earnings test applies only to unemployment insurance benefits
• No benefits payable for any day of unemployment if gross earnings of $1,330 or more in any 14-day claim period

Notes:

• Earnings include both railroad and nonrailroad pay.
• Benefits are payable for days of unemployment if gross earnings are less than $1,330 in a claim period.
• This amount is equivalent to the monthly compensation base.
  • The monthly compensation base is indexed and the earnings limit will increase to $1,365 for the benefit year that begins July 2013.
• If employee has earnings of $1,330 or more during first claim in benefit year, and the earnings prevent payment of that claim, waiting period is still satisfied.
