Unearned income received on a recurring or regular basis is considered recurring lump sum payments. This income is countable and must be prorated over the period the payment is intended to cover.

Recurring lump sum payments received after application for the Child Care Assistance Program are prorated over the number of months the payment is intended to cover.

Note: The prorated lump sum payment must continue to be counted if the case closes and then reopens during the prorate period or within the following prorate period . This prevents cases from being closed temporarily to avoid using the lump sum income.

Examples of recurring lump sum payments include, but are not limited to:

Land rental income

CRP

IIM monies

Mineral Royalty/Lease Income
