Income and the amount paid to the provider are to be rounded down to the nearest dollar.

• On the Excel Spreadsheet, enter the full amount of income and the spreadsheet will round down the income after allowable deductions are subtracted.
• For the computer system, the eligibility worker should round down the gross amount of income prior to entering the income on the calculation screen.

Example: A family has multiple paychecks each month from a couple of jobs. After conversion of the income, the total income equals $700.75 from job A, $50.82 from job B and $643.18 from job C, total $1394.75. The family pays $144.00 in child support. Total countable income is $1250.75 and is rounded down to $1250.00.
