Frequently Asked Questions - Royalties

Q: When will I receive my check?

A: Checks are mailed on or before your contractual or license due dates. For quarterly recipients, checks are mailed 45 days following the end of a quarter. The quarterly cycle is as follows: February 15th, May 15th, August 15th, and November 15th. Semi-annual payment terms vary per contract and are mailed up to 100 days following the semi-annual period.

Q: My statement looks like I have a royalty payable, but I did not receive a check and it is past my due date. Why?

A: There can be several reasons, the most common are:

  1. CCMG does not have a current address on file.
  2. CCMG does not have a federal tax ID # or social security # for your account and need a W-9.
  3. Prior quarter negative payables or adjustments may offset current earnings.
  4. CCMG does not cut checks until the amount due is over $10.00; for foreign recipients the minimum is $100.00. (Back to Top)
Q: Can payment be made electronically?

A: CCMG prefers royalty payment via direct deposit (US recipients) or wire transfer (non-US recipients). Please fill out the appropriate form and return to roystmt@capitolcmg.com. (Back to Top)

Q: When I select a statement period, I do not see a listing of all my royalty accounts?

A: Go to the “Account” tab and select “Manage Participant Vendors Linked to My Account”. You will see a listing of all participants where a valid vendor/PIN combination has been entered. Please check the vendor # and PIN # combination that you entered. Sometimes the letter “O” is mistaken for the number “0”, the number “1” for the letter “I”. Some accounts may not have earnings for a given period. (Back to Top)

Q: Can I get my statement in another electronic format besides PDF?

A: We currently cannot provide a different format, but this feature is on the schedule to provide in the future. (Back to Top)

Q: How does CCMG report reserves?

A: It depends on the following:

  • Artist/Producer:Reserves and releases are calculated per contract and are applied to your royalty payable on your statements as a separate invoice on your check. 'RS' invoices are reserves held and 'RL' invoices are reserves released.
  • Writer/Publisher:Reserves and releases are defaulted to a 35% reserve held on physical product sales and released after three quarters. Reserves are not taken on publishing license revenue received by third parties. Reserves are calculated on a song by song basis and are included in net earnings amount by participant. (Back to Top)
Q: I have selected the “view statement” tab, but no statements show up?

A: There is a possibility that your internet browser is blocking pop-ups. Check your browser settings to always allow pop-ups from this site. (Back to Top)

Q: How do I change my address for royalties?

A: Please send all address and/or administration changes to roystmt@capitolcmg.com. (Back to Top)
