(a) Yes. There are two significant differences from the eligibility
requirements under the Job Training Partnership Act.
(b) Under the dislocated worker program in JTPA, displaced
homemakers are defined as ``additional dislocated workers'' and are
only eligible to receive services if the Governor determines that
providing such services would not adversely affect the delivery of
services to the other eligible dislocated workers. Under WIA section
101(9), displaced homemakers who meet the definition at WIA section
101(10) are eligible dislocated workers without any additional
determination.
(c) The definition of displaced homemaker under JTPA included
individuals who had been dependent upon public assistance under Aid for
Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) as well as those who had been
dependent on the income of another family member. The definition in WIA
section 101(10) includes only those individuals who were dependent on a
family member's income. Those individuals who have been dependent on
public assistance may be served in the adult program.
