Residuals

Residuals are paid to you for reuse of your written work. The WGA collects the payments from your employers and distributes the monies on a quarterly basis. While the green envelope with your residual is always a welcome reward for your hard-earned efforts, please note that not all of your residuals are reportable and subject to contributions.
