Section 8.102.461.22 - SECONDARY SCHOOL/GED (NON CORE ACTIVITY)

A. The secondary school/GED work program activity serves participants who are age 18 or older. This may be a qualified activity for a participant who is under age 20, but cannot enroll in high school if the participant has:

(1) successfully completed a previous education work program activity - English as a second language or adult basic education; or

(2) completed a general equivalency diploma pre-test and the results indicate the participant is ready for GED classes.

B. Participation must be supervised on no less than a daily basis. Non-core work activities are countable towards the total work participation standard for a participant who has completed the standard work participation requirement hours with a core work activity.

C. Component activities: Participation in the following is considered as meeting work participation requirement hours when combined with a core work activity:

(1) ABE or ESL; or

(2) GED or high school shall only be included when they are prerequisites for employment.

D. Supervision and documentation:

(1) Verification of activities shall be required to determine that a participant has completed the hours by participating in one or several of the component criteria.

(2) Participation requirement hours shall be considered based on actual supervised hours documented on a monthly timesheet.

(3) Countable work participation requirement hours shall be determined by actual hours spent in class time, completion of supervised and unsupervised study hours to include holidays and excused absences. One hour of unsupervised study time for each hour of classroom time will be counted, as long as the amount of study time does not exceed the educational program requirements.
