Actual income is income that has already been received. Actual income is budgeted by:

determining the actual income received in a past month; and

converting the averaged amount to a monthly amount. See A-1353 , How to Convert Income to Monthly Amounts, for instructions on how to convert income to a monthly amount.

Actual income should not be converted when:

determining eligibility for three months prior Medicaid; or

the income received from a new or terminated source is less than a full month's income.

Note: A-1355.2 , How to Use Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Quarterly Wage Information to Budget Earned Income, can be used for budgeting TWC wages.
