NON-RECURRING INCOME
ISSUE DATE: 12/2014
MFIP, DWP:
Non-recurring income is income received in a prospective BUDGET MONTH but no longer received in the corresponding retrospective PAYMENT MONTH. This includes earned income that ends even if it is replaced by unearned income. It also includes income received periodically, such as a work bonus or a 3rd or 5th paycheck.
SNAP:
Non-recurring income is income received in a month which is not anticipated to continue in future months.
For Uncle Harry FS units non-recurring income is income received in an initial month which is no longer received in the corresponding RETROSPECTIVE CYCLE. For the definition of RETROSPECTIVE CYCLE, see 0002.57 (Glossary: Relative...). This includes earned income that ends even if it is replaced by unearned income. This does NOT include earned income received from a new employer. A 3rd and 5th paycheck is non-recurring income ONLY if it caused a suspension in the beginning month. See 0022.06.03 (When Not to Budget Income in Retro. Cases).
MSA:
For SSI recipients, no county action required.
For clients ineligible for SSI due to excess income, SSA policy applies and non-recurring income is known as “infrequent income.” Income is infrequent if:
● | An individual receives it only once during a calendar quarter from a single source. |
AND | |
● | The individual did not receive that type of income in the month immediately before that month or in the month immediately after that month. It does not matter whether or not these payments occur in different calendar quarters. |
Disregard infrequent income.
GA:
