When income is irregular, the worker must use an average of income for the three most recent consecutive months. When income is regular, the worker must use one month's income. The worker must use the following procedures:
1. List all earned and unearned income periods used. If there is a particularly high or low check, disregard it in the average;
2. Add gross income amounts for each earned and unearned income period. Divide by the number of earned or unearned income periods used for verification to arrive at the average amount per earned and unearned income period; and
3. Convert the figure from step 2 to a monthly figure using conversion tables for weekly or bi-weekly earned and unearned income periods (see 479-000-201). For a figure not shown on the conversion tables, multiply the average weekly figure by 4.3 and the average bi-weekly figure by 2.15. If income is received semi-monthly, add the two figures. If the income is monthly, use the actual monthly figure.
