Income is considered a terminated source of income when the final payment of income is received in the month prior to, the month of, or the month following the month:

• The application is received;
• The month the review is due;
• The case changes from Waived Co-pay to Co-pay

If at application, review, or when a case changes from Waived Co-pay to Co-pay and the caretaker indicates income has ended from any source, the caretaker must provide verification of the terminated source and the last date it was received. Since income eligibility is determined prospectively, this income would not be used as it is not an ongoing source of income and will not be received during that certification period.

Note: If verification of the terminated source income and the last date it was received is not provided, the application must be denied or the case closed.

 

If a caretaker is requesting child care for the month prior to the month of application and the caretaker indicates income has ended from any source, the caretaker must provide verification of the terminated source and the last date it was received. All actual gross income received in the prior month is used to determine eligibility for the prior month including terminated sources of income.

 

When adding a person to an ongoing case and the caretaker indicates the added individual’s income ended from any source, the caretaker must provide verification of that individual’s terminated source of income and the last date it was received. That income would not be used as it is not an ongoing source of income and will not be received during the remainder of the certification period.

Note: Gross income of existing individuals in the case continues to be counted until the next review whether or not the existing individual's income terminates.

 

If a caretaker in an ongoing case reports that income from a specific source is terminated, no changes in income are made as changes in income do not affect eligibility during a certification period.
