Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) The eligibility determination agency shall establish the best estimate of income that will be available to the household unit.
1. The best estimate of income shall be based
on an average of the household unit's income. Adjustments shall be made to the
estimated income to reflect changes in income that either have occurred or
which are reasonably anticipated to occur which would affect the household
unit's income during a period of eligibility. To establish the best estimate,
the one-month period immediately preceding the date of application or
redetermination shall be used.
2.
In the case of irregular payments, more than one month of income may be
used.
3. All applicants should be
screened against the State wage/disability/unemployment databases and any other
appropriate database.
4.
Documentation of income may be pursued if a crossmatch of any of these
databases produces significant undisclosed income.
