Geoff has $1000 per month in EIEs. EPD Eligibility Calculation: $1000 SSDI is excluded. All unearned income is excluded for EPD eligibility. Earned income: Total Countable Earned Income $5000 - $20 income deduction $5000 - $20 = $4980 - $65 earned income deduction $4980 - $65 = $4915 - ½ remaining earned income $4915 / 2 = $2457.50 - EIEs, IRWEs, BWEs $2457.50 - $1000 = Total Adjusted Earned Income $1457.50

$1457.50 is less than the EPD adjusted income standard. Geoff is eligible for EPD. EPD Participant Fee Calculation: Unearned Income $1000, plus $5000, equals $6000. There are no earned income deductions like there are in the eligibility calculation. Monthly Countable Income Monthly Participant Fee Under $850 $0 $805 - $1,073.99 $50 $1,074 - $2,683.00 $100 $2,684 and above $150

According to the chart, the monthly participant fee is $150. Example 2: Jo has $1000 in SSB/SSDI and $5000 per month in self-employment income. Jo has $1000 per month in business related expenses, which can be excluded under OAR 461-145-0920. Jo also has $1000 in EIEs. EPD Eligibility Calculation: Total Earned Income $5000 Excluded Income (Business Expenses) $5000 - $1000 =$4000 $20 Income Deduction $4000 - $20 = $3980
