OBSOLETE POLICY CHIP MANUAL |
Effective: May 1, 2012
Eligibility is based upon the best estimate of the household's income and circumstances that will exist in the current certification period with one exception. At renewal, the client opted to use their Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) provided through the Utah State Tax Commission interface. (See section 704-9.)
Base the best estimate of income on the client's and the worker's reasonable expectations and knowledge of current, past, and expected future circumstances. In determining the best estimate of income use the techniques of anticipating, averaging, or annualizing income to determine an appropriate monthly amount. (See 415-4).
The method used to determine the best estimate is based upon the type of income, the frequency of receipt of income, and the individual's earning history. Determine which method to use based upon the individual client's history and current circumstances.
