A client's work situation may change significantly between the time their earned income budget for the 6-month period is calculated and the issuance of assistance for the payment months is made. A client may lose the job, receive a substantial
increase/decrease in hours or pay, etc. When the client reports a decrease or increase in income, take appropriate action.
Decrease in Income
When the client reports a decrease in income, make the change for the fiscal month following the fiscal month of the reported change. If cutoff for the next fiscal month has passed, issue the client a CUP for that month.
Increase in Income

Whenever a change in the number of hours of employment is reported, update the number of work hours recorded for the client in the system (see PM
03-06-01-c). Revise the counter, if appropriate.
