When an employed person loses his employment, which includes being laid off or on strike, an evaluation is to be made of the expected length of time without income. Termination must be initiated on the Earned Income-Details page. Worker must indicate that employment has been terminated on the Earned Income Details page, which will automatically trigger the Earned Income-Loss of Employment/Strike page. Both sections must be completed using the correct dates. Final Pay amount and Final Payment date fields should only be completed when income has been reported as ended/terminated and the Final Pay amount should be included if the income is ending or has ended in the last three months. Example: 2 The client goes into the office on 2/12 and reports on 2/10 that his job assignment ends. He provides a statement from employer dated 2/10. He will receive 3 pays-1/21-$200, 2/04-$200, and final pay of 2/18 $220. The Income /Worksheet Detail screens should be updated as follows: CSCD: 2/10; Reported On: 2/12; Date Client Became Aware: 2/10; Verification Received On: 2/12; Final Pay Amount $200; and Final Payment Date: 2/18 Note: Only enter final payment date and amount if you have verification. Income Date Amount Actual/Anticipated Reason to Exclude Number of Hours Verification

1/21 200.00 Actual Hard Copy 2/04 200.00 Actual Hard Copy 2/18 220.00 Anticipated Hard Copy Worker will need to enter Termination date, Verification of Termination, and Verification Received date listed under the Earned Income-Loss of Employment/Strike page. If the Verification of Termination field is marked “unverified”, IEDSS will pend case for verification. Worker should review the Earned Income-Summary screen, Earned Income-Monthly page including the final budget that is built on the Earned Income-Payments page. These pages should be reviewed prior to authorization. For a HIP application dated in January, IEDSS would use the actual income of $200 for application month and use the conversion factor (200+220=420)/2x2.15=$451.50 for budget for February. 3410.00.00 BUDGETING SELF-EMPLOYMENT INCOME Self-employment budgeting procedures are outlined in the following sections. Self-employment income is generally determined by subtracting allowable expenses from the gross income. Note: IEDSS does not allow for self-employment records to directly transfer to MAGI page. MAGI income must be entered on both the self-employment and MAGI pages.
