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.
