INCOME IN PAST 30 DAYS |
|
|
|
Income received during the past thirty days
will be used as an indicator of anticipated income. However, past income will not be used for
any month in which a change in income has occurred or can be anticipated.
If income fluctuates to the extent that a 30-day period alone cannot
provide an accurate indication of anticipated income, the caseworker and the
AU may use a longer period of past time if it will provide an accurate
indication of anticipated fluctuations in future income. Similarly, if the AU's income fluctuates
seasonally, it may be appropriate to use the most recent season comparable to
the time of year, rather than the last 30 days, as one indicator of income
for the eligibility period.In no
event will the caseworker automatically attribute to the AU the amounts of
any past income. Past income will not
be used as an indicator of anticipated income when changes in income have
occurred or are anticipated to occur.
