The Wage Distribution Request for Joint Application for Partial Transfer of Compensation Experience (Form C-83) is used to separate compensation experience between a predecessor and a successor.

Form C-83 must be submitted for each quarter of the year in which the acquisition occurred and for preceding employment up to a maximum of four calendar years.

 Complete the following information.

  • Date Quarter Ended – Enter the quarter ending date for the wage distribution in date format MM/DD/YY or MM-DD-YY. Forms C-83 are needed for each quarter in the year of acquisition plus four prior years. If the business being acquired does not go back four years, then Forms C-83 are needed back to when the business first began.
    For example:
    • If the acquisition date is January 1, 2019, Forms C-83 are needed for each quarter in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
    • If the acquisition date is July 1, 2019, Forms C-83 are needed for each quarter in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 and first and second quarters of 2019.
    • If business being acquired only began June 25, 2018, and it was acquired on January 1, 2019, then Forms C-83 are only needed for the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2018.
