Remittance Months

You are asked what months the remittance is for. The remittance can be for one month (i.e. 09/08) or more than one month (i.e. 09/08, 10/08).

For each month that you enter, you will be asked if this is the last remittance for that month. This is to accomodate situations where employers either send multiple months in one remittance, or they remit multiple times in a month (i.e. bi-weekly).



 Remittance months? ____________________________________________________________ 
       Enter a comma-separated list of month/year that remittance is for. 
               Example: 09/2008, 10/2008.  Up to 6 months allowed. 

Enter a comma-separated list of months and years that the remittance is for. For example:


                09/08, 10/08 
        OR 
                09/2008, 10/2008 

You can enter from 1 to 6 months and years.

You are asked if this is the last remit from this employer for the entered month/year.



   +Is this the last remit from this employer for 09/1998?+ 
   |  Yes                                                 |

   +------------------------------------------------------+ 

Select "Yes" if this is the last remittance from this employer for the displayed month/year.

Select "No" if this is NOT the last remittance for this month/year.
