A Region 1 nonexempt child-only AU of four is in the January through December AR/CO Payment Period. Mother completes her redetermination on December 15. On the SAWS 2, she reports that she started a part-time job in December that will only last until the end of January, when the holiday shopping season has ended. She reports that she will get paid $900 in January and $450 in February. One child is also receiving SSA disability benefits of $100 per month based on an absent father's disability. SSA disability benefits are considered disability based unearned income (DBI).
