Is there a five (5%) percent eligibility exception window for Recovery Act youth funds?
If yes, can you base your five percent eligibility exception numbers on the participants enrolled in both the Recovery Act funds and formula funds, or would each funding stream have its own five percent window? Answer: Each funding stream would have its own five percent window for enrolling individuals who do not qualify as low-income but meet other barriers and the age eligibility (20 CFR 664.220). Question: Youth TEGL 14-08, page 28 references casinos, aquarium, golf courses or swimming pools. The TEGL indicates that states and local areas should not use Recovery Act funds to place youth in summer employment or work experience outside the summer months in any of these facilities. This language is ambiguous. May youth be in work experience at any time in these facilities? Answer: No. Youth cannot be place in summer employment or work experience either in the summer or non-summer months under Recovery Act funds. Question: Are youth ages 22 – 24 who participate in the summer employment
