If recipients have questions about the payments, advise them to contact the Kentucky Department of Agriculture.

F. Households whose earnings are from irregular sources such as day labor, odd job income from yard work, small painting and carpentry jobs, selling scrap paper and metal, and selling blood or plasma.
