Does TakeCharge look at pay period dates or pay dates when reviewing my earnings evidence?
When requesting payments SSA has instructed TakeCharge to look at the pay period dates so we can calculate the calendar month earnings. The only time earnings are calculated based on pay dates is when is when the client is in Milestone payments and is receiving SSI. It’s important to ensure pay period dates and pay dates are on your pay statements and are legible. If this information is not listed on your pay statements you will be provided with a list of alternative ways to report your earnings to TakeCharge.
