Future hour estimates with AACOMAS?

Hi all,

I have been reading through a lot of mixed messages about estimating future hours with aacomas. Here is my situation: I work as a social worker right now, almost a year in and will continue to work until July 2022. I would like to indicate my time period and hours through that time.

Another thing is I recently started a volunteer opportunity at a hospital and by next summer will have accrued over 200 hours as its a weekly four hour shift. I am only currently at 12 hours, but if you are really not supposed to put future hours then this does not look like a great entry. (I even mention in the entry I live in NYC and there were no hospital volunteer positions until recently with Covid restrictions).

Advice would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU
