8.2. Verification Periods The individual must verify the actual amount of income he/she received within the verification period. The verification period is determined by the stability of the amount of income received. 8.2.1. Stable Income To meet the definition of stable income, the source and amount received must be the same each month. The verification period for stable income is the month prior to the month of application/redetermination or the month the income is reported. 8.2.2. Fluctuating Income To meet the definition of fluctuating income, the source or amount received must vary from month to month. The verification period for fluctuating income will be the three months prior to the month of application/redetermination/change and every three months throughout the period the fluctuating income is received. The total monthly countable income received in the verification period is averaged and used to project future months’ income. If the income received in the three month verification period is not representative of the income expected to be received, the worker will work with the client to determine the period that will give the best reflection. That period will be the verification period. Documentation in the case record must include how the verification period was determined. Note: All earned income is considered fluctuating income. 8.3. Verification Sources See the instructions for the particular type of income involved for additional verification requirements and appropriate verification sources.
