West Virginia Income Maintenance Manual Page 61 Chapter 4 Income

Anticipated income is based on an average of monthly sales to the city and half of the previous year’s Christmas tree sales. The Worker records the client’s situation in detail, how past income was verified, and the method used to anticipate income for the new certification period. Example 7: Ms. Daisy applies on March 2. She does not work, and her only source of income is child support from three absent parents. Income from Absent Parent A is regularly received, but the amount varies. Income from Absent Parent B is always the same amount, but she never knows when she will receive it. Absent Parent C pays regularly, and the amount is more or less the same. The Worker requests verification as follows: A’s payments for the last six months; B’s payments for the last six months; C’s payments for the last three months. She reports and verifies the following income from the three sources: Parent A: • March 1

$450 • February 1 $75 • January 1 $123 • December 1 $850 • November 1 $170 • October 1 $100 Parent B: • February 14 $250 • January 10 $250 • November 20 $250 Parent C: • February 20 $300 • January 20 $300 • December 20 $300 The Worker finds the average monthly payment made by Parent A and projects the income to continue. The Worker and the client cannot reasonably anticipate that any payments will be received in the new certification period or POC from Parent B, so no income is counted from this source. Parent C pays the same amount at the same time, so $300 per month is counted from Parent C.
