A household's income is computed to determine eligibility and benefit amount. Household income is computed by using:

actual income (income that was already received), or

projected income amounts (not received but expected).

Notes:

Both actual income amounts and projected income amounts for the current month are used to determine eligibility and benefits.

For households paid on a monthly or semi-monthly basis, income is counted for the month it is intended if the household receives: the income in a different month because of a change in the mailing cycle or pay date; or an additional or missed payment because of weekends or holidays.

Exception: A-1355.2 , How to Use Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Quarterly Wage Information to Budget Earned Income, may be used when using the TWC wage record to calculate income.
