Annualize self-employment income even if the household receives income from other sources in addition to the self-employment.

Averaging

Average over a 12-month period self-employment income received on a regular basis (weekly, monthly, etc) that does not fluctuate greatly in amount but which represents a household’s annual support. For example, a dairy farmer whose annual income is derived from his business receives income from the sale of milk on a regular basis. Convert this income to a yearly amount and average over a 12-month period. See Section 104.891 for types of verification.

Average self-employment income that is intended to meet the household’s needs for only part of the year, over the period of time the income is intended to cover. For example, self-employed vendors who work at this business only in the summer and supplement their income from other sources during the balance of the year must have their self-employment income averaged over the summer months rather than a 12-month period.
