SAWS 2, the county will add each week together and divide by five and then factor the resultant amount by 4.33.

(SAR) Example 2:

A recipient indicates on the SAR 7 that weekly income of $100 was received in the Data Month and explains on the SAR 7 that this income amount will not continue during the upcoming SAR Payment Period because the recipient hopes to get a new job soon but has no firm offer. Due to the speculative nature of the new job, the county determines that the income reported in the Data Month on the SAR 7 is reasonably anticipated to continue during the next SAR Payment Period. Therefore, the county would apply the conversion factor of 4.33 to the $100 weekly amount to arrive at the monthly income amount of $433 for the next SAR Payment Period. (In this example, because the $100 weekly amount remains the same for each pay period, the step requiring that the weekly amounts be added together and divided by the number of pay periods is not necessary.)

(AR/CO) Example 2:

A recipient indicates on the SAWS 2 that weekly income of $100 was received in the Data Month and explains on the SAWS 2 that this income amount will not continue during the upcoming AR/CO Payment Period because the recipient hopes to get a new job soon but has no firm offer. Due to the speculative nature of the new job, the county determines that the income reported in the Data Month on the SAWS 2 is reasonably anticipated to continue during the next AR/CO Payment Period. Therefore, the county would apply the conversion factor of 4.33 to the $100 weekly amount to arrive at the monthly income amount of $433 for the next AR/CO Payment Period. (In this example, because the $100 weekly amount remains the same for each pay period, the step requiring that the weekly amounts be added together and divided by the number of pay periods is not necessary.)
