Budget contractual earnings monthly by:

dividing the total gross amount earned under the contract by the number of months the contract covers or by 12 months, whichever is applicable; and

adding this amount to any other income, and budgeting according to usual procedures.

Note: If the person does not receive the income agreed to in the contract, or if income is interrupted because of participation as a striker in a work slow-down or stoppage, do not budget the contractual earnings using the steps above since the person cannot reasonably anticipate receiving the contractual income. For strikers, follow policy in A-1367.1 . If the person's employment situation changes and contractual earnings resume:

recalculate the income or adjust the benefits accordingly; and

document all the facts that caused the recalculation or adjustment.
