Once you reach the $500 Lifetime Earning Threshold, Hirewriters will request that you send them a W-9 form via email. This email will notify staff to cease sending you Paypal payments. It seems you cannot earn more than $500 total at Hirewriters.com because the owners either want to avoid taxes or avoid IRS paperwork. Be warned, if you earn over $500 in lifetime site earnings... you will not be paid the excess and Hirewriters will ignore you.
