Title 7: SNAP Page 34 Iowa Department of Health and Human Services Employees’ Manual Chapter E: Income Types of Income Revised September 27, 2024 Wages Wages (Earned) 7 CFR 273.9(b)(1)(i) Count all wages and salaries as earned income. The employer determines payday. When an employer:  Makes payroll checks available early, count the pay as if it was received on the date the employer normally distributes checks if that date has not changed for all employees.  Distributes payroll to all employees on a date other than the regular payday, consider the date distributed as the date of receipt. NOTE: Some banks offer a service by which pay received via direct deposit is made available earlier than the normal pay date. In these situations:  The employer is not distributing checks to all employees on a date different than the normally scheduled date. The fact that the bank makes pay available earlier does not change this.  Consider pay to be received on the normal pay date, as established by the employer.
