Self-employment income Income is anything you receive in cash or in kind that you can use to meet your needs for food, clothing, and shelter. means income directly from one's own business rather than as an employee with a specified salary or wages from an employer.
Business means an occupation, work, or trade in which a person is engaged as a means of livelihood.
A business is operating when it is ready to function in its specific purpose. The period of operation begins when the business first opens and generally continues uninterrupted up to the present. A business is operating even if there are no sales and no work is being performed. Thus a seasonal business operates in the off season unless there's been a significant change in circumstances (4.2.5.3).
A business isn't operating when it can't function in its specific purpose. For instance, if a mechanic can't work for 4 months because of an illness or injury, he may claim his business wasn't in operation for those months.
IM income means self-employment income that is counted in determining income maintenance eligibility and benefits.
Real property means land and most things attached to the land, such as buildings and vegetation.
Nonreal property means all property other than real property.
