(Revised 7/01 ML #2697)
The Burdick Job Corps in Minot opened in September 1994 to serve North Dakota residents. Since Job Corps is required to serve low-income students, many may come from families who are receiving assistance.
The Center also has a Solo Parent Program which offers residential facilities to allow a single parent the option of bringing her child(ren) to the Job Corps Center while she receives education and training. The Center has an on-site Child Development Center, operated by Head Start, which will provide child care while the mother is in training.
An individual participating in Job Corps, whether an adult or child, is considered to be in training.
A child participating in Job Corps who has not completed high school, a GED, or vocational training is considered a student until the end of the month in which he or she becomes 18 years old and would be considered as a member of the TANF unit and eligible for a benefit. A child who has completed high school, a GED, or vocational training is no longer eligible after the month in which the child turns 18. A child is eligible beyond age 18 only if he or she is a full-time student and will complete high school, a GED, or vocational training before attaining age 19. The student is eligible for benefits throughout the month in which he or she completes high school or a GED even if the vocational training is not complete. After age nineteen, the student is no longer eligible. Age is not a factor for the TANF caretaker student.
All wages, living and readjustment allowances, and bonuses received as a result of participation in the Job Corps Program are provided to offset either past, present, or future expenditures which are not included in the TANF standard of need. Therefore, Job Corps Program monies are considered complementary in nature and disregarded as income.
