Schedule I - Average Income or Current Month Income?

[ApresMoi]

I pass the means test (am way under). I still need to complete Schedules I and J. Does anyone know if Schedule I is asking for average income over the past six months, or whether they are asking for what my income is in the month I fill out the form? Thank you.

My attorney didn't care what I was earning at month 6 or 5 or 4. She put down what my monthly income is now, the month before I file.

My income 'now' is unemployment. That income will end in three months. By which time, if I have not found work, my income will be zero (or possibly a small social security check and part time employment). So it seems ridiculous to put down my current unemployment income, which I will have to do at the time I file, since those benefits are close to being exhausted.

I guess when i am asked about change in circumstances, maybe that is when I can mention that the benefits are due to run out.

Or, I could wait and file after I have exahusted unemployment, in which case I would list my income as 'zero'. LOL.
