003.03 SELF-EMPLOYMENT.

Self-employment is an activity or work effort performed by the individual for the purpose of generating income. Passive receipt of income from a resource does not constitute self-employment. For self-employed individuals, the net amount of income, after payment of expenses, is used to determine eligibility. Gross income and expenses must be verified. If the self-employed individual files taxes on this source of income, then the taxable amount of income from the self-employment may be used.
