on the 3rd of this month i got an email from chaturbate saying that my w-9 was not filed somehow. i sent it to them right away. does this mean i’ll have to wait until the NEXT pay period for my money?

They don't ask for a w9 but might request one, did you do a legal name change? As that seems to be one of the common reasons for the w9 request based on what I've seen around chats and forums. As for when you get paid I think it depends on how quickly they process it.

They do eventually ask for a W-9 from everyone who cashes out tokens. I think it was almost six months into broadcasting on my account before they asked. It took a week to process but I was still allowed to accrue tokens during that period of time. Paid out as normal once accepted.
Edit: I was already eligible for the daily payout option at that point. I could cash out as soon as it was approved.

Are you sure? It's very rare for me to see a w-9 request thats not associated to someone that hasnt done a name change.
edit: could it be based on income earned?

If you're verified and you're just using tokens to tip other people, you'll never be asked for a W-9. If you cash out tokens and get real money for them, they send a request for a W-9. They're SUPPOSED to do it after you cash out $600 or more in tokens but I think I was $6,000 into it when they asked for mine. So many models quit before they hit that threshold it's not worth the record keeping until they do.

i had never received payment before i got an email asking for my w-9. i didn’t change my name or billing info at all. i believe my total cash out was around $600.

Which is what is supposed to happen. Any time an independent contractor earns $600 or more in income from a company, the company needs a W-9 to issue a 1099 for the next tax season.

You're welcome. I remember having the same feeling when I got the email. Keep broadcasting, it'll be fine.

I didn't mean on the website I mean if once in your life you ever did a legal name change or put a name in your payout information that may not have matched your initial SSN card. I'm not saying that's what happened maybe CB is starting to collect w9's early

Most sites collect them as soon as a creator/cammer signs up in order for them to earn and then be paid out.maybe CB is starting to collect w9's early
I think CB is one of the few that maybe different because you can earn tokens on there and spend them on other rooms and never actually need to be paid out on them.
So technically, CB collects them late lol
