   • •

     Only attending an on-the-job training course which the ER is paying the individual to attend, or

   • •

     Paid by an ER to attend an educational institution (EI) at the request of, or as a requirement of, the ER.

   • •

     The Job Training Partnership Act of 1983.

     A community action program authorized under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964.

     A Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipient enrolled in the Work Incentive (WIN) Program if the training requires full-time attendance (FTA) at an EI.

   The following individuals are not students:

     Enrollees in the Job Corps. (These individuals are considered to be paid by an ER while attending school as a requirement of the ER.)

An individual in a work-study program sponsored by the school is a student if the job is part of the school program. Consider a student in a work-study program in FTA during the period they are working since the time on the job is considered an integral part of the student's schooling.

Consider a student in a vocational school who, in addition to class work, receives in-service training and is paid a stipend to be in a work-study program sponsored by the school.

Individuals are subject to the Annual Earnings Test, and work deductions should be applied in the normal manner. (See RS 02501.000.)
