(a) The eligibility agency shall use its best estimate of monthly income based upon circumstances at the time of application or redetermination as specified in Appendix A, Part I (relating to income to be included, deducted and excluded in determining gross monthly income) for the table used to convert weekly, biweekly, semimonthly and other pay periods to monthly amounts.
(b) For parents or caretakers who are working and have received pay at the time they apply for subsidized child care, the eligibility agency shall estimate income based upon verified, actual amounts already received by the family prior to application or redetermination.
(c) The eligibility agency shall adjust its estimate of monthly income to reflect recent or anticipated changes and unusual circumstances that are not expected to recur, such as overtime not likely to continue.
