DE TANF Employment and Training - Education Possibilities

Under Senate Bill 101, persons who must participate in Delaware's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program can qualify for participation purposes if they are engaged in secondary education, post-secondary education up to the baccalaureate level, adult basic education or vocational training.

Requirements:

Persons who qualify for TANF assistance are eligible to participate in adult basic education, secondary education, post-secondary education up to the baccalaureate level, adult basic education or vocational training as an approved work activity provided each of the following requirements are met:

1. The person does not hold a baccalaureate degree.

2. The secondary, post-secondary education up to the baccalaureate level, or vocational training is pursued through an accredited or approved school program.

3. The person is enrolled with enough credit hours to have full-time student status and is in good standing as it relates to attendance and achievement as defined by the program the person is attending.

4. If the person attending school would otherwise be subject to a work requirement in order to receive assistance under TANF, the combination of credit hours and work hours shall equal at least 20 hours per week while the program is in session. This work requirement may be met through work-study, internships, externships, or through work as a research assistant. If possible, during scheduled breaks, the work requirement will be the same as for other program participants, with work experience related to the field of study. However, if the student is enrolled full-time for the next semester and work activity placement cannot be arranged for the duration of the break in classes, it may be excused.

NOTE: Persons attending education and training programs described above are eligible to receive supportive services, such as assistance with transportation and child care, while they attend the educational or vocational training program on the same basis as support services are provided other persons who are receiving assistance under TANF.
