4) None of the previous checks could be used to project income for future months:
The customer reports that she had a special project at her work and worked an extra seven hours during her last four checks, but this is unusual and will not continue. A call to the employer confirms that she will no longer work the extra hours and her normal pay is 33 hours a week at $15 an hour. She is paid weekly and provided a copy of her last four checks. The gross pay for each of the checks were:
check 1 = $600.00
check 2 = $600.00
check 3 = $600.00
check 4 = $600.00
Because all checks can’t be used to determine the ongoing income, use the statement from the employer to project income for future months. To determine the monthly amount to budget for a MAGI program:
Multiply the number of normal hours by the hourly pay (33 x $15) = $495.
Multiply by 4.3 because she is paid weekly ($495 x 4.3) = $2,128.50
