6124 Partial Month Budgeting Method - Partial Month budgeting method is used when sufficient information has not been provided to complete Full-Month budgeting. If less than 30 days of income is provided or in situations where you do not know if it represents a full month, determine a prospective amount based on what is on file. This amount is then compared to the reported income. Use whichever is greater between the amount reported by the applicant and the prospective monthly amount.
For Partial Month budgeting, income verification is acceptable as long as it is dated within three months prior to the month of application. Similarly, when processing a review or case change, the pay verification provided must be from the three months prior to the month the Reasonable Compatibility test is initially run.
