Income Reporting

Income Reporting Statements (IRS) are required to be submitted on the 16^thof each month in order to determine the next month's entitlement. The income reported includes all income obtained between the 16^th of the preceding month and the 15^th of the current month.

The statement includes several items that must be recorded and/or attached, including: income and assets of members of the benefit unit; attendance at employment assistance activities; and, any other conditions relevant to determining the person's eligibility between the 16^th of the preceding month and the 15^th of the current month.

Failure to submit an Income Reporting Statement may result in the suspension of financial assistance. Should the I.R.S. not be received by the 5^th working day of the next month, financial assistance will be terminated.

Note: The word “NONE” is to be input in the boxes where income is not applicable.

An example of income reported could be as follows:

An Income Reporting Statement is due February 16^th

The Income reported includes all income received between January 16^th to February 15^th.

(This is used to determine March entitlement.)

Assistance for March 1^st is suspended if an IRS is not submitted

Assistance is terminated as of March 1^st if an IRS is not submitted by March 5^th
