734-5 COLLEGE EDUCATION
This activity prepares a participant for professional or para-professional occupations consistent with their employment goals. Often this activity is referred to as post-secondary education ( PSE ) or University education. College-level education when it is a SIT may be approved, if it meets the criteria listed in this chapter. Expect college to prepare a participant to enter a paid job that quickly leads to Temporary Assistance case closure.
Evaluate approval of college education plans carefully, especially those that exceed 12 months in length. Lengthy college plans, including those that the participant initiated on their own, use up time-limited assistance months, and require the participant to remain dependent on Temporary Assistance while attending college. This is contrary to the intent of Temporary Assistance.
