18.9.1.C.2 State Law Under West Virginia State law, those who are not mandatory under federal law for participation in educational activities may select other educational options which do not meet federal work participation requirements. Any WV WORKS participant may elect to participate in any educational activity, regardless of any federal restrictions described above. • The participation must be full-time as defined by the institution or course of study, regardless of the number of hours of actual participation. • The participant must not be required to participate in any other activity to increase his participation hours to the minimum federal requirement. • However, the participant may voluntarily participate in any other activity, but no sanction may be imposed for failure to participate in that other activity. • If the educational activity is college, it is limited to one two- or four-year undergraduate degree program unless otherwise agreed upon by the Case Manager and the supervisor that the further addition of the education will help the employability of the participant in finding employment and becoming self-sufficient. • Participants in educational activities must be making satisfactory progress as determined by the program in which they are enrolled.
