Oak $170 per week. Ms. Oak claims no business expenses. Ms. Oak received $731 pay for August. Her hours of participation are: $731 - $0 = 100.83 (round to 101) $7.25 $731 divided by $7.25 = 100.83 (rounded to 101 hours.) In this example, Ms. Oak has a work requirement of 128 hours per month; therefore, she must participate in another work activity for no less than 27 hours per month. To receive support service payments, self-employed Work-Eligible Individuals must complete and sign a self-reported timesheet, DFA-TS-12, to determine the days actually worked. 18.4.5.B.2 Other Allowable Activities The calculation of hours of participation for other allowable activities is based on the following process: Step 1: Determine the participant’s total monthly hours of participation, as reported on his timesheet. Step 2: Add hours for paid vacation and paid sick leave. Do not include excused absences in this figure. The result is the monthly participation hours which are entered by the Case Manager and recorded in Work Program comments. Time for excused absences as found in Section 18.4.4.C.1, up to 16 hours, is entered separately. Time for federally designated holidays is entered separately and is not converted to a weekly average. NOTE: For informational purposes, EI, FB, FU, FV, OJ, PB, PU, and PV are considered paid work components. All other components are considered non-paid work components. For paid work components, the eligibility system will add actual monthly participation hours to the monthly excused absence hours and monthly holiday hours and then divide the result by 4.33. Round that result to obtain the weekly average for TANF reporting purposes. For non- paid work activities, the eligibility system will divide monthly completed hours by 4.33, excused absence hours and holiday hours by 4, and then round the number for each entry. These items will not be added together but will be reported as individual items for TANF reporting purposes. This process is completed for each component separately.
