Secondary School Attendance - “Non-Core” Activity Satisfactory attendance at secondary school or in a course of study leading to a certificate of general equivalence is an allowable non-core activity for individuals age twenty and older who do not have a high school diploma or GED. Participation in this activity is not restricted to individuals for whom obtaining a GED is a prerequisite for employment. Minor parents, under age twenty, who have not completed secondary school or received a GED, should be encouraged to pursue a diploma or GED. Educational activities (EDU/HSE, EDU/GED or EDU/ESL) for individuals under age twenty are considered “core” activities and are countable for the first 20 hours per week in the participation rate calculation. Activities for individuals age 20 and older are considered “non-core” and only count in the participation rate calculation after the participant has met the minimum 20-hour per week requirement in an allowable “core” work activity, e.g., unsubsidized employment, work experience, on-the-job training, job readiness/job search, community service, vocational education, etc. NOTE: JAWS will allow the education (EDU) component to be added to the EDP and the MPWA screen for a “MV-minor volunteer” when the household type is “ANI-adult not included.”
