I certify that Forms W-2c, Corrected Wage and Tax Statement, have been filed (as necessary) with                     the Social Security
Administration, and that (check appropriate boxes):
         All overcollected federal income taxes for the current calendar year and all social security and Medicare taxes for the
         current and prior calendar years have been repaid to employees. For claims of overcollected employee social security and
         Medicare taxes in earlier years, a written statement has been obtained from each employee stating that the employee has
         not claimed and will not claim refund or credit for the amount of the overcollection.
          
         All affected employees have given their written consent to the allowance of this credit or refund. For claims of
         overcollected employee social security and Medicare taxes in earlier years, a written statement has been obtained from
         each employee stating that the employee has not claimed and will not claim refund or credit for the amount of the
         overcollection.
          
         The social security tax and Medicare tax adjustments represent the employer’s share only. An attempt was made to
         locate the employee(s) affected, but the affected employee(s) could not be located or will not comply with the certification
         requirements.
          
         None of this refund or credit was withheld from employee wages.
