* IF THE HOUSEHOLD PROVIDES VERIFICATION OF WAGES FROM AT LEAST TWO PAY PERIODS WHICH ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF INCOME FOR THE CURRENT CALENDAR MONTH AND PRIOR CALENDAR MONTH WHEN THE APPLICATION, REDETERMINATION, OR SIMPLIFIED REPORT IS RECEIVED, OR THE CHANGE IS REPORTED, NO ADDITIONAL WAGE VERIFICATION MUST BE REQUESTED, UNLESS THE VERIFICATION RECEIVED IS QUESTIONABLE.

IF VERIFICATION OF EARNINGS FROM AT LEAST TWO REPRESENTATIVE PAY PERIODS WITHIN THE CURRENT CALENDAR MONTH AND THE PRIOR CALENDAR MONTH HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED, REQUEST VERIFICATION OF ALL WAGES RECEIVED FROM THE CURRENT CALENDAR MONTH AND THE PRIOR CALENDAR MONTH. THE DATE THE VERIFICATION IS REQUESTED IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR ON WHICH MONTHS TO REQUEST THE VERIFICATION. **

JUNE IS THE PRIOR CALENDAR MONTH AND JULY IS THE CURRENT CALENDAR MONTH. IF CLIENT PROVIDES AT LEAST TWO CHECK STUBS THAT ARE REPRESENTATIVE BETWEEN JUNE 1 – JULY 20, USE THOSE PAY PERIODS TO ESTIMATE EARNINGS.

EXAMPLE: CLIENT SUBMITS REDETERMINATION FORM ON JUNE 20 FOR A JULY REDETERMINATION. CLIENT IS INTERVIEWED ON JUNE 21. WAGES FROM MAY 1 - JUNE 21
