2.5.4 Income Computation

Official source

When calculating family income, certain circumstances are considered to ensure a fair and accurate determination. These include: • Seasonal employment: For applicants employed by a school system, income is typically calculated based on a 10-month work period, unless evidence of year-round employment is provided. • Irregular income fluctuations: Income from multiple pay periods may be averaged to reflect temporary changes in income more accurately and ensure that temporary increases (such as due to overtime or holiday pay) do not impact eligibility or family co-payments. This includes income fluctuations that result in family income temporarily exceeding 85 percent of the SMI. Families may provide earnings statements that better represent the family’s income rather than the most recent statement.
