Dear Employee:

Welcome aboard! You have received this packet because you intend to provide services as a Personal Attendant to an individual receiving support and funding through the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) Self-Directed Care Program.

FSSA has contracted with Public Partnerships, LLC (PPL), a Fiscal Intermediary (FI), to make all payments on behalf of waiver program participants who utilize Personal Attendants. The FI will track all hours worked and pay for services on behalf of your Employer. The FI will also administer the required background checks on all Personal Attendants.

PPL asks that you sign and return the enclosed forms as soon as possible. You must complete a separate packet for each Employer who employs you, even if you are hired by two people in the same household. PPL cannot pay any claims until a completed packet is received for your work with each Employer. PPL will issue your paychecks to you based on either telephonic or signed physical timesheets. These paychecks will reflect tax withholdings. If you have any questions, please call or email Public Partnerships at (866) 264- 2296 or [email protected].

Thank you.

How do I complete the forms? Is there an easy way to tell which ones apply to me?

Page 2: Public Partnerships, LLC (PPL) PPL’s FFissccaall IInntt er ......Submit time each visit or submit signed timesheets to PPL every 2 weeks Receive a paycheck from PPL, based on time

Who is responsible for submitting timesheets to PPL?

It is the responsibility of the Employee to call the TIPS telephonic timesheet system to log in and out. If the Employee is submitting paper timesheets, it is the responsibility of the Employer to collect all timesheets from their Personal Attendants for a paycheck cycle and submit them to PPL together. If Personal Attendant timesheets for a single Employer are not submitted together, payments may be delayed or even denied.

What is the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) Form I-9?

The USCIS Form I-9 is your employment eligibility verification. You must bring this form, and the documents listed on page 3 of the I-9, to your Employer. Your Employer will review the documents, confirm your identity and verify your identity under penalty of perjury by signing this form. Federal law requires that all Employers and Employees complete this form.

What taxes will be withheld and how will my paycheck stub change?

PPL will withhold Social Security, Medicare (FICA), and state and federal income taxes from your paycheck. A summary of all tax withholdings will appear on your paycheck stub throughout the calendar year. PPL also will mail you a W-2 form in January. You will need this W-2 form to file your individual tax return by April. Your Employer will receive regular reports from PPL about your total year to date wages and taxes paid.

When do I need to complete and return tax forms to Public Partnerships?

You must complete and return the required forms to PPL once you are hired by an Employer. Delays which go beyond the scheduled timeframe may result in payment delay, or inaccurate tax withholding for services you provide to your Employer.

Are there other forms I need to review?

Yes. PPL has enclosed the following forms for your review.

PPL Timesheet and Payment Calendar. A signed timesheet will authorize PPL to issue a paycheck. A timesheet can be completed online, faxed or mailed, but must to be legible, signed and for authorized service dates and hours. Paychecks are issued every other week. See the enclosed Payment Schedule for more information about processing days and deadlines. Please feel free to make copies of the Timesheet form to record Employee hours.

What is it for?

This form tells the USCIS that you – the employee - are eligible for employment in the United States.

Who needs to sign?

Two people need to sign it – 1) the employee and 2) the employer.

Why does the employer need to sign this?

The IRS holds both the employer and the employee responsible for an individual’s legal status and eligibility for employment.

I have a temporary work authorization that needs to be renewed at a later date. Can I still work?

Yes. If you are eligible to work now, you can complete this form. It is important that you keep your work authorizations up-to-date. Your employer will need to verify your status again once your temporary authorization has expired.

Do I need to do anything more than sign the I-9?

What is it for?

This form tells the IRS about the withholding allowances for which the employee is eligible.

Who needs to sign?

Every employee working with an employer who is using the FI.

What if an employee does not want to sign this tax form?

The FI needs this form completed and signed in order to withhold taxes with the employee’s desired allowances. In order to pay an employee, the FI must have a completed and signed form on file.

How should I complete the W-4 worksheet?

The FI cannot give advice about what allowances you should claim. If you have questions about what allowances you should claim, contact your tax professional.

Form W-42020

Employee’s Withholding Certificate

Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service

Complete Form W-4 so that your employer can withhold the correct federal income tax from your pay.

Give Form W-4 to your employer.

Your withholding is subject to review by the IRS.

OMB No. 1545-0074

Step 1:

Enter

Personal

Information

(a) First name and middle initial Last name

Address

City or town, state, and ZIP code

(b) Social security number

Does your name match the name on your social security card? If not, to ensure you get credit for your earnings, contact SSA at 800-772-1213 or go to www.ssa.gov.

(c) Single or Married filing separately

Married filing jointly (or Qualifying widow(er))

Head of household (Check only if you’re unmarried and pay more than half the costs of keeping up a home for yourself and a qualifying individual.)

Complete Steps 2–4 ONLY if they apply to you; otherwise, skip to Step 5. See page 2 for more information on each step, who can claim exemption from withholding, when to use the online estimator, and privacy.

Step 2:

Multiple Jobs

or Spouse

Works

Complete this step if you (1) hold more than one job at a time, or (2) are married filing jointly and your spousealso works. The correct amount of withholding depends on income earned from all of these jobs.

Do only one of the following.

(a) Use the estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App for most accurate withholding for this step (and Steps 3–4); or

(b) Use the Multiple Jobs Worksheet on page 3 and enter the result in Step 4(c) below for roughly accurate withholding; or

(c) If there are only two jobs total, you may check this box. Do the same on Form W-4 for the other job. This option is accurate for jobs with similar pay; otherwise, more tax than necessary may be withheld . . . . .

TIP: To be accurate, submit a 2020 Form W-4 for all other jobs. If you (or your spouse) have self-employment income, including as an independent contractor, use the estimator.

Complete Steps 3–4(b) on Form W-4 for only ONE of these jobs. Leave those steps blank for the other jobs. (Your withholding will be most accurate if you complete Steps 3–4(b) on the Form W-4 for the highest paying job.)

Step 3:

Claim

Dependents

If your income will be $200,000 or less ($400,000 or less if married filing jointly):

Multiply the number of qualifying children under age 17 by $2,000 $

Multiply the number of other dependents by $500 . . . . $

Add the amounts above and enter the total here . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 $

Step 4

(optional):

Other

Adjustments

(a)

Other income (not from jobs). If you want tax withheld for other income you expect this year that won’t have withholding, enter the amount of other income here. This may include interest, dividends, and retirement income . . . . . . . . . . . . 4(a) $

(b)

Deductions. If you expect to claim deductions other than the standard deductionand want to reduce your withholding, use the Deductions Worksheet on page 3 and enter the result here . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4(b) $

(c) Extra withholding. Enter any additional tax you want withheld each pay period . 4(c) $

Step 5:

Sign

Here

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that this certificate, to the best of my knowledge and belief, is true, correct, and complete.

General Instructions

Future Developments

For the latest information about developments related to Form W-4, such as legislation enacted after it was published, go to www.irs.gov/FormW4.

Purpose of Form

Complete Form W-4 so that your employer can withhold the correct federal income tax from your pay. If too little is withheld, you will generally owe tax when you file your tax return and may owe a penalty. If too much is withheld, you will generally be due a refund. Complete a new Form W-4 when changes to your personal or financial situation would change the entries on the form. For more information on withholding and when you must furnish a new Form W-4, see Pub. 505.

Exemption from withholding. You may claim exemption from withholding for 2020 if you meet both of the following conditions: you had no federal income tax liability in 2019 and you expect to have no federal income tax liability in 2020. You had no federal income tax liability in 2019 if (1) your total tax on line 16 on your 2019 Form 1040 or 1040-SR is zero (or less than the sum of lines 18a, 18b, and 18c), or (2) you were not required to file a return because your income was below the filing threshold for your correct filing status. If you claim exemption, you will have no income tax withheld from your paycheck and may owe taxes and penalties when you file your 2020 tax return. To claim exemption from withholding, certify that you meet both of the conditions above by writing “Exempt” on Form W-4 in the space below Step 4(c). Then, complete Steps 1(a), 1(b), and 5. Do not complete any other steps. You will need to submit a new Form W-4 by February 16, 2021.

Your privacy. If you prefer to limit information provided in Steps 2 through 4, use the online estimator, which will also increase accuracy.

As an alternative to the estimator: if you have concerns with Step 2(c), you may choose Step 2(b); if you have concerns with Step 4(a), you may enter an additional amount you want withheld per pay period in Step 4(c). If this is the only job in your household, you may instead check the box in Step 2(c), which will increase your withholding and significantly reduce your paycheck (often by thousands of dollars over the year).

When to use the estimator. Consider using the estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App if you:

1. Expect to work only part of the year;

2. Have dividend or capital gain income, or are subject to additional taxes, such as the additional Medicare tax;

3. Have self-employment income (see below); or

4. Prefer the most accurate withholding for multiple job situations.

Self-employment. Generally, you will owe both income and self-employment taxes on any self-employment income you receive separate from the wages you receive as an employee. If you want to pay these taxes through withholding from your wages, use the estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App to figure the amount to have withheld.

Nonresident alien. If you’re a nonresident alien, see Notice 1392, Supplemental Form W-4 Instructions for Nonresident Aliens, before completing this form.

Specific Instructions

Step 1(c). Check your anticipated filing status. This will determine the standard deduction and tax rates used to compute your withholding.

Step 2. Use this step if you (1) have more than one job at the same time, or (2) are married filing jointly and you and your spouse both work.

Option (a) most accurately calculates the additional tax you need to have withheld, while option (b) does so with a little less accuracy.

If you (and your spouse) have a total of only two jobs, you may instead check the box in option (c). The box must also be checked on the Form W-4 for the other job. If the box is checked, the standard deduction and tax brackets will be cut in half for each job to calculate withholding. This option is roughly accurate for jobs with similar pay; otherwise, more tax than necessary may be withheld, and this extra amount will be larger the greater the difference in pay is between the two jobs.

!CAUTION

Multiple jobs. Complete Steps 3 through 4(b) on only one Form W-4. Withholding will be most accurate if you do this on the Form W-4 for the highest paying job.

Step 3. Step 3 of Form W-4 provides instructions for determining the amount of the child tax credit and the credit for other dependents that you may be able to claim when you file your tax return. To qualify for the child tax credit, the child must be under age 17 as of December 31, must be your dependent who generally lives with you for more than half the year, and must have the required social security number. You may be able to claim a credit for other dependents for whom a child tax credit can’t be claimed, such as an older child or a qualifying relative. For additional eligibility requirements for these credits, see Pub. 972, Child Tax Credit and Credit for Other Dependents. You can also include other tax credits in this step, such as education tax credits and the foreign tax credit. To do so, add an estimate of the amount for the year to your credits for dependents and enter the total amount in Step 3. Including these credits will increase your paycheck and reduce the amount of any refund you may receive when you file your tax return.

Step 4 (optional).

Step 4(a). Enter in this step the total of your other estimated income for the year, if any. You shouldn’t include income from any jobs or self-employment. If you complete Step 4(a), you likely won’t have to make estimated tax payments for that income. If you prefer to pay estimated tax rather than having tax on other income withheld from your paycheck, see Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals.

Step 4(b). Enter in this step the amount from the Deductions Worksheet, line 5, if you expect to claim deductions other than the basic standard deduction on your 2020 tax return and want to reduce your withholding to account for these deductions. This includes both itemized deductions and other deductions such as for student loan interest and IRAs.

Step 4(c). Enter in this step any additional tax you want withheld from your pay each pay period, including any amounts from the Multiple Jobs Worksheet, line 4. Entering an amount here will reduce your paycheck and will either increase your refund or reduce any amount of tax that you owe.

Step 2(b)—Multiple Jobs Worksheet (Keep for your records.)

If you choose the option in Step 2(b) on Form W-4, complete this worksheet (which calculates the total extra tax for all jobs) on only ONE Form W-4. Withholding will be most accurate if you complete the worksheet and enter the result on the Form W-4 for the highest paying job.

Note: If more than one job has annual wages of more than $120,000 or there are more than three jobs, see Pub. 505 for additional tables; or, you can use the online withholding estimator at www.irs.gov/W4App.

Instructions for Completing Form WH-4This form should be completed by all resident and nonresident employees having income subject to Indiana state and/or county income tax.

Print or type your full name, Social Security number or ITIN and home address. Enter your Indiana county of residence and county of principal employment as of January 1 of the current year. If you neither lived nor worked in Indiana on January 1 of the current year, enter ‘not applicable’ on the line(s). If you move to (or work in) another county after January 1, your county status will not change until the next calendar tax year.

Nonresident alien limitation. A nonresident alien is allowed to claim only one exemption for withholding tax purposes. If you are a nonresident alien, enter “1” on line 1, then skip to line 7. You are considered to be a nonresident alien if you are not a citizen of the United States and do not meet the green card test and the substantial presence test (get Publication 519 from www.irs.gov for information about these tests).

All other employees should complete lines 1 through 7.

Lines 1 & 2 - You are allowed to claim one exemption for yourself and one for your spouse (if he/she does not claim the exemption for him/herself). If a parent or legal guardian claims you on their federal tax return, you may still claim an exemption for yourself for Indiana purposes. You cannot claim more than the correct number of exemptions; however, you are permitted to claim a lesser number of exemptions if you wish additional withholding to be deducted.

Line 3 - Dependent Exemptions: You are allowed one exemption for each of your dependents based on state guidelines. To qualify as your dependent, a person must receive more than one-half of his/her support from you for the tax year and must have less than $4,200 gross income during the tax year (unless the person is your child and is under age 19 or under age 24 and a full-time student at least during 5 months of the tax year at a qualified educational institution).

Line 4 - Additional Exemptions. You are also allowed one exemption each for you and/or your spouse if either is 65 or older and/or blind.

Line 5 - Add the total of exemptions claimed on lines 1, 2, 3, and 4. Enter the total in the box provided.

Line 6 - Additional Dependent Exemptions. An additional exemption is allowed for certain dependent children that are included on line 3. The dependent child must be a son, stepson, daughter, stepdaughter, foster child, and/or child for whom you are a legal guardian.

Lines 7 & 8 - If you would like an additional amount to be withheld from your wages each pay period, enter the amount on the line provided. NOTE: An entry on this line does not obligate your employer to withhold the amount. You are still liable for any additional taxes due at the end of the tax year. If the employer does withhold the ad-ditional amount, it should be submitted along with the regular state and county tax withholding.

You may file a new Form WH-4 at any time if the number of exemptions increases. You must file a new Form WH-4 within 10 days if the number of exemptions previously claimed by you decreases for any of the following reasons:(a) you divorce (or are legally separated from) your spouse for whom you have been claiming an exemption or your spouse claims him/herself on a separate Form WH-4; or(b) someone else takes over the support of a dependent you claim or you no longer provide more than one-half of the person’s support for the tax year.

Penalties are imposed for willingly supplying false information or information which would reduce the withholding exemption.

Self-Directed Attendant Care Program

Spend-Down Policy

EFFECTIVE DATE: MAY 5, 2010

Individuals receiving services through the Aged and Disabled Waiver’s Self-Directed Attendant Care program may have a spend-down. Having a spend-down means that an individual must pay his or her provider(s) directly for a portion of the services he or she receives each month.

If the individual you provide services to has a spend-down, and that amount has not already been met through other incurred medical charges for a particular month, that amount will be deducted from your wages.

If PPL deducts money from your wages for spend-down, PPL will send you a statement with your paycheck listing the amount deducted for the spend-down. You will then need to collect the amount of the spend-down directly from your employer, who is responsible for paying you the amount of the spend-down.

Attention Provider

Legislation signed by the President on August 10, 2010 repeals the Advanced Earned Income

Tax Credit. Recipients will not be able to claim Advance EITC after December 31, 2010.

Due to this legislation, we are unable to process any requests for advanced EIC. Please note

that the Earned Income Credit still exists. It is just that you can no longer request this credit

in advance in your paycheck. It can be claimed on Form 1040 when you file your 2011

income tax paperwork.

IRS Publication 596 explains the Earned Income Credit in great detail. Please refer to this

document for additional guidance. If further clarification on this legislation is needed, please

contact a tax professional.

Thank you,
