Income Allocation: This evidence captures the details of the income amount allocated against an expense. This is called Income Allocation.

Unearned income (received by a Household Member) that is used for a specific purpose, for example, medical expenses, may be excluded in the determination of eligibility. Unearned income can only be allocated to expenses that have been already entered as Curam Expense Evidence.

Example

Linda Smith is disabled and has an attendant to care for her. Linda Smith has an expense as she must pay her attendant for the care provided. Linda Smith receives money to pay for her attendant. A case worker creates an Income Allocation record from Linda Smith's unearned income, for the attendant care payments. This allocates the money Linda Smith receives, to the attendant care expense. So Linda Smith's income allocation record is associated with (a) her unearned income record for the attendant care payments, and (b) her expense record for the cost of attendant care.
