Wages means all remuneration for employment including the cash value of all remuneration paid in any medium other than cash, unless specifically excluded under section 209 of the Social Security Act (Act). The name given the payment is not controlling in determining whether it constitutes wages.

Payments may be paid on an hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, yearly or on a piecework or percentage basis.

Wage exclusions are payments that are either totally or partially excluded from the definition of wages under section 209 of the Act.

Wage credits are deemed dollar amounts credited to a veteran's earnings record for active duty prior to 1957 and to the earnings records of uniformed service members on active duty after 1956.
