    1. As one annual payment received at the time of the normal income tax returns.

    2. As an advance in the employee's paycheck.

  2. The EITC is excluded from assets (see OAR 461-001-0000) in the month of receipt and then for a maximum of 12 calendar full months starting with the month following the month of receipt of the refund or payment. All funds remaining after the 12-month period are counted as a resource.
