TABLE P

FACTORS FOR EXPANDING PROPORTIONATE INCOME AMOUNTS TO AN ANNUAL BASIS

These tables are designed to determine, in proportionate income situations, the annual rate on which benefits are to be based. (1) Determine the amount of countable income of the claimant from the date of entitlement to the end of the year, dropping the cents. (2) Multiply that income amount by the factor corresponding to the month and day of entitlement. For example, if the claimant has $1,223 countable income from June 1 ( date of entitlement) to the end of the year, multiply $1,223 by 1.7056, the factor for June 1,(1.7102 for leap year) and the income for entry on the award would be $2,085 ($2,091 for leap year).
