Budgeting Support Example 5
 
The PI turns in an application in May and is interviewed the same month. The PI states she receives support income weekly so the monthly amount fluctuates. Review the monthly support income amounts received in the three prior calendar months. To determine an average monthly amount complete the following:
In each month add the support income amounts received each week together to determine the amount received for each month
Add each monthly amount received together
Divide the total support income received by the number of months reviewed. The resulting figure is the average monthly amount received
 
Budget the resulting monthly amount next to the participant court ordered to receive the support.
