These education/training hours become the secondary activity in the NYCWAY system and requires the worker to engage the participant in a core activity which may include paid employment activities, work study, paid or unpaid internships, community activities, community service, paid work study or other work placements. Notwithstanding the above, participants who are in good academic standing with their college, will be permitted to continue to attend full-time once the 12-month lifetime maximum is reached. Although this activity will enable the participating individual to retain eligibility for CA, HRA will not count this activity for purposes of calculating the Federal Participation Rate. This is in accordance with Section 4.1 which defines the work activity "Other - Any work activity that does not meet the criteria of any of the above countable activities constitutes participation that is not countable toward federal and State participation rates." HRA uses its Internship Placement Services (IPS) program for Cash Assistance (CA) clients who are enrolled in an HRA-approved course of study and choose to participate in this internship, community activity or community service as part of their education program as well as CUNY EDGE work-study to ensure work requirements are met for those who have exhausted 12-month lifetime limit.
