Determination of Payments Example 3: Application date is October 8. Interview date is October 20. Paid weekly on Fridays. Last pay date at application is October 8. Last pay date at interview is October 15. Pay dates in last 30 days (prior to application) are: • October 1 • September 24 • September 17 • September 10 OR Pay dates 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 4.5.1.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 4.5.1.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.
