10 Year Earning Statement

jfarrell

Just a heads up… in North Hempstead when applying as a master plumber you have to submit a certified, itemized earnings statement representing 10 years of work experience as a plumber that you get from the Social Security Administration. I submitted the form the SSA requires by mail (you can’t do it online), but it can take 120 days to be processed before you get the necessary documents. Four months is a long time to wait, so despite paying the $96 for the mail in request, I made an appointment to get the docs at a regional/local SSA office that’s only three weeks out. I hope this helps someone out. I was confused because the application asks for 7 years of W2s, but uploading to the CitizenServe portal isn’t straightforward, but the certified and itemized earnings statement is there.

Additionally, you need 2 Master Plumbers with current and in good standing registration to provide vouchers for you as a professional.

Then, you can schedule an appointment to sit for the exams.
