Post-Time Limits

9/30/09	1.	Question: Can the County approve a Self-Initiated Program (SIP) for a Master’s Degree in Public Relations/Marketing for an individual who timed-out less than 12 months?
		Answer: No. Per State regulation, educational activities (including both SIP and VOC) may only be approved for an Undergraduate (4-year) Degree or a regular Teaching Credential. Further, if the activity cannot be approved there is no supportive services eligibility.
3/12/07	2.	Question: Can a timed-off participant apply for work-study?
		Answer: Yes. Due to some limitations on work-study for them, timed-off participants should be referred to their school’s financial aid office, not the CalWORKs office.
