Earned Income Deduction

The Earned Income Deduction is automatically applied in BEACON. Twenty percent of gross monthly earned income is allowed as a deduction. No additional deduction(s) from earned income can be made. Excluded earned income and any portion of income earned under a wage supplementation or support program attributable to public assistance cannot be allowed as a deduction.

Note: This deduction is not allowed in determining an over issuance if the household fails to report earned income in a timely manner.
