Earnings Test

• Applies only to unemployment insurance benefits
• No benefits payable if gross earnings of $1,230 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 $1,230 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 $1,280 for the benefit year that begins July 2009.
• If employee has earnings of $1,230 or more during first claim in benefit year, and the earnings prevent payment of that claim, waiting period is still satisfied.
