How do I update or correct reported income for a specific month?

There are any number of reasons you may need to adjust reported income in a given month. To adjust this amount for any reported month, begin by logging into the Leif platform and selecting 'Income' from the top navigation bar

Once on the income page, navigate to the appropriate year by clicking the arrows, selecting the appropriate month that needs to be updated, and clicking on the reported income amount.

Update the monthly income to accurately reflect the income earned and click 'Confirm.'

Helpful Hint!

Unsure of what amount to use as you update?  Always use your gross income (pre-tax) so that they are consistent with the earnings we've calculated from your documents. 

• If you are in a salaried position earning bimonthly paystubs (24 paystubs over the year; typically with two set days per month). You can report your gross income based on your annual income divided by 12. This will typically align with your monthly earned income (but you may need to update your monthly gross income in any month that your income fluctuates for things like bonuses).
• If you are in an hourly position OR in a salaried position earning biweekly paystubs (26 paystubs over the year; typically with 2-3 varying days per month), you should report your monthly gross income based on each paystub’s check date. This will assure you capture any fluctuations between months and don't risk under or over paying.

The new amount should now be reflected in your monthly income chart. Repeat this process as needed for other months.
