Modifying Monthly Income

Income received monthly can be modified if the monthly Amount received has changed.  For Example:  A Cost of Living Adjustment increased the monthly income amount for an ongoing Social Security income record.  If the monthly amount varies or the income is received more than once a month, see Using the Income Average Calculator. See the steps under Modifying Existing Income for help navigating to the Income Detail page.

From the Income Detail page:

  1. In the Income Amounts section, Non-Medical defaults in the Display by Program Type drop-down menu. Click the Add button. The Income Amount Detail page displays.

NOTE:  Using the Edit button will change the existing income and not keep a historical record.  The Add button must be used to keep accurate income history.
