(SAR) Example 1:

The recipient reports on the SAR 7 that four weekly paychecks were received in the following amounts: $115, $100, $135, and $95. The recipient also indicated on the SAR 7 that his/her income is not expected to change during the next SAR Payment Period compared to the income reported on the SAR 7. The county will add the four weeks of income together ($115+100+135+95=$445), divide by four ($445/4=$111.25) and then factor the resultant amount by 4.33 ($111.25 x 4.33=$481.71) (use the appropriate conversion factor for the payment frequency) to arrive at the monthly income amount for the next SAR Payment Period. If five pay periods were reported in the Data Month on the SAR 7, the county will add each week together and divide by five and then factor the resultant amount by 4.33.
