application, the client provides verification that she has begun receiving regular weekly checks of $170. The calculation would be as follows:

Income received in January ($1,000 x 73%) = $ 730 Income received in February = 0 Income anticipated in March ($680 x 73%) = 496 Total for three months = 1,226 Annual income (x 4) = $4,904

On the other hand, if she had received a check in February for a partial pay period ($100), but her regular hours could not be established until later in March, the calculation would be as follows:

Income received in January ($1,000 x 73%) = $ 730 Income received in February ($100 x 73%) = 73 Income anticipated in March ($680 x 73%) = 496 Total for three months = 1,299 Annual income (x 4) = $5,196

If March's income could not reasonably be established within the time allowed, the same amount would be used for March as had been used for February.
