E-9200, When Income is Not Considered Infrequent

Revision 09-4; Effective December 1, 2009

Income is not considered infrequent when it is received:

• more than once per calendar quarter from a single source; or
• only once during a calendar quarter from a single source and another payment was received from the same source in the month immediately preceding or the month immediately following. It does not matter that the payments fall into different calendar quarters.

Note: If the payment in the month immediately preceding or the month following is not a normal quarterly payment from that source, consider this one-time payment as irregular.

Determine the calendar quarter in which the income is received. Calendar quarters are:

• January - March;
• April - June;
• July - September; and
• October - December.

Based on the receipt of the infrequent or irregular income, exclude the following amount of income from the eligibility budget:

• the first $30 per calendar quarter of earned income; and
• the first $60 per calendar quarter of unearned income.
