Bill > A01848

This bill amends the social services law to clarify the definitions of vocational educational training and educational activities. It expands the types of educational activities that social services districts must make available, such as post-secondary education, trade schools, and financial literacy courses. The bill also requires that individuals participating in these activities maintain satisfactory academic progress, with the ability to waive this requirement in certain circumstances. Additionally, the bill stipulates that enrollment in post-secondary education beyond 12 months must be combined with at least 20 hours of weekly participation in paid employment, work activities, or community service.
