002.03(B) ANTICIPATING INCOME.

Anticipating income is the process of projecting the income a household is reasonably certain to receive each month during the certification period. All non-excluded income must be prospectively anticipated at application, recertification, and when any change is reported Eligibility and benefit levels are determined based on the household’s expected monthly income. If the amount of income or when it will be received is uncertain, the income must not be included in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program budget. However, any portion of the income that can be reasonably anticipated and verified must be counted.
