​Requirements

The earned income deduction is not allowable for earnings not reported timely.

​Basic Considerations

If an AU does not report the receipt of earned income timely, do not allow the 20% earned income deduction for that income when computing the amount of the overpayment (OP).

​Procedures

Determine the months of overpayments by applying the appropriate reporting requirement. Gross income changes of over 130% of the applicable FPL must be reported no later than 10 days following the end of the month in which the income exceeded the SRR reporting requirement. Apply the 10-14 periods for taking actions following the end of that period for SRR AUs.
