.31 Example 1: A 16- or 17-year old teen fails to attend school regularly. His needs are taken out of the family's grant and, at the same time, he loses the exemption from the CalWORKs Welfare-to-Work Program. If he begins attending school regularly before participation in any specific welfare-to-work activity is required, his needs will be reinstated for complying with the school attendance requirement. Once notified of specific welfare-to-work requirements, the teen must also comply with those requirements. Aid will continue as long as he stays in school and complies with welfare-to-work requirements.

.32 Example 2: A 16- or 17-year old teen fails to attend school regularly. Her needs are taken out of the family's grant and, at the same time, she loses the exemption from the CalWORKs Welfare-to-Work Program. She begins attending school regularly before participation in any specific welfare-to-work activity is required, and her needs are reinstated for complying with the school attendance requirement. She subsequently fails to comply with a welfare-to-work requirement, and is penalized for that reason. To reinstate her needs, the teen must comply with the Welfare-to-Work Program.

.33 Example 3: A 16- or 17-year old teen fails to attend school regularly. His needs are not considered in determining the family's grant and, at the same time, he loses the exemption from the CalWORKs Welfare-to-Work Program. He does not resume regular school attendance and also fails to comply with welfare-to-work requirements. His needs will not be reinstated until he complies with both the school attendance and welfare-to-work requirements.
