This ACWDL states several indicators the county should consider if it is not clear if a 1931(b) or MN applicant or recipient is self-employed and thus subject to self-employment deductions. The indicators of self-employment include the following:

• The individual defines for himself/herself the nature and scope of daily work which are not determined or supervised by another person.
• There is a contractual relationship between the seller and buyer of services. Changes in the definition or extent of the services require changes in the contractual agreement. The contractor has a pattern of entering into contracts with multiple contractees simultaneously, or in succession and providing services pursuant to an explicit oral or written agreement.
• Others assume little or no liability for the individual's work.
• The individual does not work at another's facility nor make substantial use of another's capital.
• The individual's work requires he/she own substantial equipment, which is subject to depreciation, and the individual bargains for and receives compensation to reflect the cost of depreciation.
• The person or entity who pays the individual does not deduct Social Security taxes or federal taxes.
• Provision of goods or services are contractual if provided pursuant to a bargained for agreement in which the individual does specific work or produce a specific product for an agreed price within a specific and limited time period.
