(a) If an applicant or recipient works for more than one month before receiving a single payment in full settlement for the work performed, regardless of whether that person is an employee or self-employed, working with or without a contract, the department will
- (1) prorate the income over the number of months the payment is intended to cover; and
- (2) in each of the months the applicant or recipient actually works, but not in other prorated or contract months, allow the applicant or recipient the earned income deductions under 7 AAC 45.480 and the child care disregard under 7 AAC 45.485.
- (b) The income of a seasonally self-employed applicant or recipient will be prorated in accordance with 7 AAC 45.450, regardless of whether the person obtains earned income monthly during the season of work.
- (c) Income received as a draw, receipt of sales, payment on contract, or any other self-employment income that is, or can be, regularly received at least once a month during a 12-month period or longer will not be prorated under this section. After the non-personal costs of doing business are subtracted in accordance with 7 AAC 45.445, the remainder will be budgeted on a monthly basis and treated the same as employee's wages under this chapter.
