E-9300, When to Apply the Infrequent or Irregular Exclusion

Revision 09-4; Effective December 1, 2009

Exclude income that is either infrequent or irregular, as defined in Section E-9100, Definitions. In order to be excluded, the income need only be one or the other (infrequent or irregular).

If income is infrequent or irregular and the total from all sources per calendar quarter is greater than $30 earned or $60 unearned, count the amount that exceeds the $30 or $60. Apply the exclusion to the first infrequent or irregular income received in a calendar quarter.

The infrequent or irregular income exclusion applies only to the eligibility budget. Infrequent or irregular income must be considered for the co-payment budget.

For income received too infrequently or irregularly to be averaged for a projected co-payment, follow procedures for restitution in Section H-8300, Restitution, through Section H-8350, Steps for Submitting Restitution Payment.
