Issued 4-1-98
Income that is based on the number of hours worked, as opposed to income based on regular monthly wages, must be computed as irregular income. The income received irregularly or in varying amounts will be averaged to establish the amount to be anticipated and considered for prospective budgeting. The past two month's income is averaged to indicate what income can be anticipated. Income is verified by the best available information which would consist of pay stubs presented by the assistance unit or, in the absence of pay stubs, contact with the employer. Pay stubs may only be used for verification if they have the client's name and social security number indicating that the pay stubs are in fact the client's wages. The pay stubs should also include the date(s) of the pay period and the amount of income before deductions. If this information is not included, employer verification is required. With new employment it is necessary to verify the beginning date.
