7 AAC 100.168 - Best estimate of prospective income

(a) For the purpose of determining the eligibility of a household for Family Medicaid benefits under 7 AAC 100.154, the department will make a best estimate of the prospective income for a household by using the actual income received or anticipated to be received in the month for which the determination is being made.

(b) If receipt of income from a source cannot reasonably be anticipated in a month for which a determination is being made, the department will not include income from that source in the estimate of income.

(c) If income from a source can reasonably be anticipated to be received in a month for which a determination is being made but the monthly amount is uncertain, the department will include in the estimate of income only that amount that can be anticipated with reasonable certainty. In determining the amount of income anticipated to be received, the department may average the monthly income received from the source in previous months.

(d) If income from a source is received on a weekly or biweekly basis, the department will estimate the anticipated monthly income by multiplying weekly amounts by 4.3 and biweekly amounts by 2.15.
