2. Calculation. The Administration or its
designee shall project income by:
a.
Converting income to a monthly equivalent,
b. Using unconverted income, or
c. Prorating income to determine a monthly
equivalent.
3.
Exclusion. When calculating projected monthly income, the Administration or its
designee shall exclude an unusual variation in income under
R9-22-1424(E),
except for a month in which the variation is anticipated to occur.
B. Averaged income.
1. Description. Averaging income
proportionally distributes the person's income received on a regular
basis.
2. Calculation. To average
income, the Administration or its designee shall add the amount of the income
and divide by the total number of pay periods. If the amount of income received
per pay period fluctuates, and the fluctuation is expected to continue, the
Administration or its designee shall:
a. Use
the averaged weekly or bi-weekly amounts to convert weekly or bi-weekly income
to a monthly equivalent;
b. Use the
averaged monthly or semi-monthly amounts to project monthly income;
and

worked and multiply the average by the current rate of pay. If there is a
change in the rate of pay, use the new rate of pay when calculating projected
income under subsection (A).
C. Prorated income.
1. Description. Prorated income evenly
distributes a person's income over the period the income is intended to cover
to calculate a monthly equivalent.
2. Calculation. To prorate income, the
Administration or its designee shall divide the total amount of the person's
income received during the period by the number of months that the income is
intended to cover.
D. Converted income.
1. Description. Converted
income is income received weekly or biweekly that is changed to a monthly
equivalent.
2. Calculation.
a. The Administration or its designee shall
average the weekly or bi-weekly income amounts before converting to the monthly
equivalent if the person's past income fluctuates and the fluctuation is
expected to recur.
b. To convert
income paid weekly to a monthly equivalent, the Administration or its designee
shall multiply the weekly average by 4.3 weeks.
c. To convert income paid bi-weekly to a
monthly equivalent, the Administration or its designee shall multiply the
bi-weekly average by 2.15 weeks.
E. Unconverted income.
1. Description. Unconverted income is the
actual amount of income received or projected to be received during a
month.
2. Calculation. The
Administration or its designee shall sum the actual amount of income received
or projected to be received during a month.
