The customer reports that she gets paid weekly, works on call, and that zero pays are not unusual. She provided 4 weekly paychecks, 1 of which is a zero pay. The gross pay for each of the checks were (check 1 = $300.00, check 2 = $290.00, check 3 = $0.00, and check 4 = $310.00). To determine the monthly amount to budget for a MAGI program:
Add all of the pay amounts for the income period ($300 + $290 + $310) = $900
Divide by the amount of total number of pay periods including the zero pay period ($900 divided by 4) = $225
Multiply by 4.3 because she is paid weekly ($225 x 4.3) = $967.50 (average monthly amount including the zero pay)
