452-4        COMPUTATION OF INCOME

The case worker makes the following computations to determine total monthly income for eligibility and payment determinations:

1. Identify the monthly income available to the individual or couple (including the income of a ineligible spouse or alien sponsor, if any) by source, type, and amount.
   
   
2. Subtract all possible income allocations and exclusions from these amounts.
   
   
3. Add all amounts together and round the resulting amount to the nearest dollar.  (Round up from $ .50, round down from $ .49.)  This amount, which cannot be less than zero, is the total monthly income.
