1) Unusual Pay is expected to continue

The customer takes on an extra shift that is outside of her normal work hours. She reports that this is recurring, and happens every other week. The customer is paid weekly, and she provided 4 weekly paychecks. The gross pay for each of the checks were:

check 1 = $300.00

check 2 = $450.00

check 3 = $300.00

check 4 = $450.00

To determine the monthly amount to budget for a MAGI program:

Add all the pay amounts for the income period ($300 + $450 + $300 + $450) = $1,500

Divide by the amount of total number of pay periods ($1,500 divided by 4) = $375

Multiply by 4.3 because she is paid weekly ($375 x 4.3) = $1,612.50 (average monthly amount including the bonus)
