Income, either earned or unearned, for a month when an individual receives an extra check from a recurring source occasionally causes the TANF case to fail.  TANF Policy allows a case to be suspended, rather than closed, when ineligibility will be for one month only. However, if the extra check is received in the first prospective month and results in ineligibility, the month of application must be denied. (See Section 400-19-105-40-50, Budgeting Income Resulting from the Receipt of an Extra Check)

Note: For purposes of this section, an extra check is the receipt of a 3rd or 5th check within a month or when an individual receives an extra check due to the employer changing the designated pay date.  The last check received during the month is the extra check.
