anticipated monthly income for the next SAR Payment Period. Since income is not paid every week of the SAR Payment Period, the conversion factor cannot be applied.

(AR/CO) Example:

The recipient reports on the SAWS 2 that she is paid on a weekly basis except she only works three weeks in a month and indicates that this frequency of pay will remain the same throughout the next AR/CO Payment Period and will remain unchanged throughout the next AR/CO Payment Period. She is typically paid $115, $100, and $135. The county will add the three weeks of income together ($115+100+135=$350) to arrive at a reasonably anticipated monthly income for the next AR/CO Payment Period. Since income is not paid every week of the AR/CO Payment Period, the conversion factor cannot be applied.
