759-4          WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT ( WIA ) PAYMENTS

 

Trainees receiving Intensive Services under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 ( WIA ) may receive periodic income as part of their training and employment program. This income may be earned or unearned.

 

759-4 A.     UNEARNED WIA INCOME

 

All unearned WIA payments are exempt and do not count in the eligibility determination or payment computation.  They are excluded because the WIA program is complementary to Temporary Assistance, and is not an income maintenance program.  

 

759-4 B.     EARNED WIA INCOME

 

Except for income earned from participation in the Summer Youth Employment and Training Program, earned WIA payments count as income in the 185% test, the eligibility determination, and the payment computation if the WIA participant is a minor parent, adult parent, or other caretaker relative included in the assistance unit.
