The total income for the six-month POC is used to determine if the spenddown provisions apply. Therefore, the Worker must take the following steps when the income is expected to change during the POC. Step 1: Determine the specific months that will constitute the POC. Step 2: Determine the anticipated earned income for each of the six months, according to Section 4.6. If there is no earned income in a month, use $0 for that month. Add all of the earned income and divide by 6 to determine the average anticipated earned income for the POC. Step 3: Determine the anticipated unearned income for each of the six months, according to Section 4.6. If there is no unearned income in a month, use $0 for that month. Add all of the unearned income and divide by 6 to determine the average anticipated unearned income for the POC. 4.16.2 INCOME DISREGARDS AND DEDUCTIONS The following disregards and deductions are applied, if applicable. NOTE: Spenddown provisions apply to AFDC-Related Medicaid.
