Seasonal Income
A VOE from the employer is required for seasonal income calculation.
The employer should list the expected dates of employment for the year.
Based on the VOE, enter the
number of weeks OFF WORK per
year, and select “yes” or “no”
regarding availability of
unemployment. If unemployment
is available, enter the amount and
frequency in the previous section
(“other income”).

VOE into the yellow cells. Notice
that the “weeks employed in

Self Employment Income
Use the information on the Beneficiary Questionnaire, YTD report, and tax returns to complete
this section.
Enter current year
information based on a
current YTD income/expense
report provided by the
borrower. For “months self
employed”, round down to

(VOE, in this example), and
the hire date listed on the

“Average hours” should be
taken directly from the VOE. If
it is left blank on the VOE, we
will use 40 as a default. If a
range is given, the highest
number is used.
If “payroll frequency” is
not listed on the VOE, use
“weekly” as a default.
If “thru date” is not listed on

average” automatically
calculate and pre-fill based
on the information entered.
The higher of the two values
will be used in the total
income calculation.
Examples of “other income” include recurring

premium pay, etc.
Enter YTD information

stub.
