DI 52170: Manual Computations for Workers' Compensation/Public Disability Benefit (WC/PDB) Offset
BASIC (09-08)
Use the table below to establish earnings for any year where the statutory maximum and gift quarters (maximum annual earnings were reported in less than four quarters) are posted unless:
Evidence in the file indicates earnings are from more than one employer.
Over maximum earnings are posted.
Both self-employment income and wages are posted for a single year.
Proof of actual earnings is in the file.
Obtain a quarterly breakdown to determine if estimating further would increase the ACE if the resulting ACE does not postpone offset.

NOTE:
a. If gift QCs precede the wage QCs (e.g., GCCC), the latest wage quarter is the one in which the maximum was earned. If the maximum was earned in the last quarter, it is impossible to estimate minimum annual earnings by this method and posted earnings (i.e. quarterly breakdown) should be used.
b. If the table is used and the computation results in no offset, no further development is necessary. However, entitlement of an auxiliary sometime in the future may cause offset and an actual quarterly breakdown may be required at that time.
If the table is used but does not result in complete removal of offset, it will be necessary to request quarterly wage postings from the Division of Earnings Records, OEO, OCO.
c. By law, estimated earnings for years after 1977 may not be used.
