    (ii)           2.15 if pay is received every two weeks

    (iii)          4.3 if pay is received weekly

    (c)           Annualized self-employment income shall be averaged over the lesser of the following period: the number of months the business has been in operation or 12 months.

    (2)           The monthly income calculated in Paragraph (a) of this Rule shall be used to determine the AFDC payment for three consecutive calendar months.

    (3)           Quarterly reporting shall be required for error-prone classes of recipients as defined by the state based on quality control and other management data.  The quarterly reporting process shall follow the processing requirements found in 45 CFR 233.37 which is hereby incorporated by reference including all subsequent amendments and editions.  Copies of this Code of Federal Regulations may be obtained from the Division of Social Services, 325 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC 27603 [telephone number (919) 733-3055] at a cost of ten cents ($.10) per page at the time of adoption of this Rule.
