(SAR) Example 3:

The SAR Payment Period is January through June. A recipient indicates on the May SAR 7 that bi- weekly income of $200 was received in the Data Month and explains on the SAR 7 that this income amount will increase to a bi-weekly amount of $250 beginning in the Submit Month of June and will continue at that amount. The county agrees with the recipient's SAR 7 information and applies the 2.167 conversion factor to the $250 bi-weekly amount to arrive at the monthly income amount of $541.75 for the next SAR Payment Period. (In this example, because the $250 bi-weekly amount remains the same for each pay period, the step requiring that the bi-weekly amounts be added together and divided by the number of pay periods is not necessary.)

(AR/CO) Example 3:

The AR/CO Payment Period is July through June. A recipient indicates on the May SAWS 2 that bi- weekly income of $200 was received in the Data Month and explains on the SAWS 2 that this income amount will increase to a bi-weekly amount of $250 beginning in the Submit Month of June and will continue at that amount. The county agrees with the recipient's SAWS 2 information and applies the 2.167 conversion factor to the $250 bi-weekly amount to arrive at the monthly income amount of $541.75 for the next AR/CO Payment Period. (In this example, because the $250 bi-weekly amount remains the same for each pay period, the step requiring that the bi-weekly amounts be added together and divided by the number of pay periods is not necessary.)

(SAR) Example 4:

The SAR Payment Period is January through June. A recipient indicates on the June SAWS 2 that their current weekly income of $150 will only continue through August, when their summer job will end. The county agrees with the recipient's SAWS 2 information and applies the 4.33 conversion factor to the $150 weekly amount to arrive at the monthly income amount of $649.50 for the months of July and August. No income will be used for the months of September through December.
