If the eligibility unit’s current income shows a substantial increase or decrease, a representative period of the irregular or sporadic income should be used to determine the average monthly amount.

If the eligibility unit has been receiving irregular or sporadic earned or unearned income over a period of one (1) year or more, divide the income received over the last twelve (12) months by twelve (12) to arrive at a monthly amount.

If the eligibility unit has been receiving irregular or sporadic earned or unearned income for a period of less than one (1) year, average the amount of income during this period.
