OR Pays in last 30 days (prior to interview) are: • October 15 • October 8 • October 1 • September 24 Step 2: Determine if the income from the previous 30 days is reasonably expected to continue into the new certification period. If it is not expected to continue, the income from this source is no longer considered for use in the new certification period. If it is expected to continue, determine if the amount is reasonably expected to be more or less the same. If so, the income source is used for the new certification period and treated according to Section 4.4.1.D below. If it is not expected to continue at more or less the same amount, the income source is used for the new certification period and treated according to Section 4.4.1.C below. Step 3: Record the results of Step 2, including the amount of income, why the source is or is not being considered for the new certification period, the client’s statement about continuation of the income from this source, the time period used, and, if more than the previous 30 days, the reason additional income was considered. Once the Worker has determined all of the old sources of income to consider and the time period for which they are considered, he must then determine if any source should be considered for future income. 4.4.1.C Consideration of Future Income This section applies only when the client reasonably expects to receive income from a new source during the new certification period, or when the amount of income from an old source is expected to change. In that case, the Worker must consider the income that can be reasonably expected to be received. NOTE: When self-employment income is anticipated, proceeds from the sale of capital goods and equipment must be anticipated also. See Section 4.4.4 for capital goods and equipment.
