Section 75-02-01.2-49 - Income considerations1. All income must be considered in establishing eligibility and in determining the cash grant amount.2. Income must be reasonably evaluated. A determination that income is deemed available is a determination that the income is actually available.3. Income from wages, or any other source, must be considered received in the month in which it was actually received or considered to be available. Wages held at the request of an employee must be considered income in the month in which the wages would otherwise have been paid by the employer.4. A member of a household who receives regular income, other than on a monthly basis, may occasionally receive an extra check which causes the unit to become ineligible in the month of receipt. If the receipt of additional income is anticipated to result in ineligibility for only one month, the case may be suspended, rather than closed. a. If the additional income is received in the month of application, the first month of prospective budgeting, the application must be denied.b. If the additional income is received in the month after the month of application, the second month of prospective budgeting, the case must be prospectively suspended, and all income, except income derived from the last check received in that month, from the source of regular income, must be retrospectively budgeted.c. If the additional income is received in any month except the month of application or the month after the month of application, all income must be retrospectively budgeted.N.D.
