Income must be determined prospectively because eligibility is determined for a specific certification period. The income used to issue the certificate must be reflective of the income for the period of time the certificate covers.
Each source of non-exempt income received by the household must be considered separately to determine what the prospective income from that source will be.
Determining prospective income includes converting earned and unearned income.
Exception: Child Support income is not converted.
Use the child support income from the month prior to application, 6 month review, when a person enters the home, or a case goes from Waived Co-pay to Co-pay unless all child support payments have been received in the current month.
Note: When changing a case from Waived Co-pay to Co-pay, child support assigned or received in the final month of TANF is used as prospective income.
