Elimination of PAPER Forms BA-4, BA-6a & BA-11

The RRB will eliminate the use of the paper Forms BA-4, Report of Creditable Compensation Adjustment, BA-6a, Address Report & BA-11, Report of Gross Earnings beginning January 1, 2015.

Paper filers should now use the Employer Reporting System (ERSNet) to file those reports. ERSNet offers users benefits not available to employers using other filing methods including automatic system edits to identify errors, pre-filled data fields, the ability to create summary reports, automated email form/file receipt responses and file upload capability. If you use the ERSNet system, you do not need to file Form G-440 for the system authenticates the report.

For more information about this change, please see Program Letter 2014-05, "Elimination of the Use of Paper Forms: BA-4, Report of Creditable Compensation Adjustment, BA-6a, Address Report & BA-11, Report of Gross Earnings".
