New Source of Income

When a new source of income is identified during the most recent FULL 12 month period the amount of countable income is calculated as follows:

1. Subtract any deposits that are not derived from leases, trusts or restricted lands. These sources of income would be considered separately based on policy.

2. Subtract the new source income from each month the income was received.

3. The remaining deposits would be totaled for the twelve-month period.

4. Total the new source income and divide by the number of months it was received. Multiple by 12 to determine a new annual amount of the new source income.

5. Add the annual amount of the new source income to the total of the remaining deposits.

6. Deduct the $2000 disregard. (Result is the annualized countable income)

7. Use annualized countable income.
