Benefit Recipients: Check Your Federal Tax Withholding for 2010

Due to the Making Work Pay Credit implemented for tax year 2009 and changes in the federal income tax withholding tables, your January 2010 benefit payment could be decreased because of a higher withholding amount. This will only affect those who have taxes withheld according to the federal tax tables. For more information, read the article from our January Newsletter.

You may wish to file a new Tax Withholding Authorization form for 2010 to remove the additional withholding. In order for that change to be effective for your January benefit payment, we must receive it by January 21, 2010.
