Wages paid or constructively paid (as defined in §1302) for services you perform as an employee;
Net earnings from self-employment estimated for a current year on the basis of volume of business, past experience, etc.;
Payments for participating in a sheltered workshop or work activities center program;
Sickness or temporary disability payments received within the first six months of stopping work; and
