Section 7 AAC 45.425 - Best estimate of anticipated income(a) For the purposes of determining the eligibility of an assistance unit for ATAP benefits and calculating the ATAP payment amount, the department will make a best estimate of the anticipated income for an assistance unit by using the actual income received or expected to be received in the month for which the determination is being made.(b) If income from a source cannot reasonably be anticipated to be received 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 with reasonable certainty, 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.Eff. 8/5/92, Register 123; am 10/1/93, Register 127; am 10/1/97, Register 143; am 10/1/2001, Register 159; am 1/7/2005, Register 173Authority:AS 47.05.010
