3. Calculating Terminated income:

Income the household has previously received that has terminated or will terminate during the certification period.

If terminated income is reported prior to the receipt of the last pay, the last pay received is counted and the end date shall reflect the date the last pay is received.

For example: Recipient reports terminated employment on 03/13/2024. The recipient’s last pay check is expected on 03/29/2024. The last pay received on 03/29/2024 is counted and the income is end dated on 03/29/2024.

If terminated income is reported after the last pay has been received. The income shall be end dated the date the recipient reports the terminated income.

For example: Recipient reports terminated employment on 04/15/2024. The recipient’s last pay check is expected on 03/29/2024. The last pay received on 03/29/2024 is counted and the income is end dated on 04/15/2024.

Client statement regarding terminated income is accepted unless it is questionable. If client statement is questionable, child care workers should request verification and must document why verification of terminated income has been requested.
