COMMENTS
A juvenile living in a transitional living placement may be eligible to earn a subsidy, in addition to any traditional support payment, based on a showing of consistent participation in life skills classes and other life skills activities, in school, and in his or her job training program or employment. A cash incentive program for participation in Chafee-funded juvenile programs is available through the DHHR. The MDT and court is encouraged to identify other funding sources and positive incentives for program participation by juveniles. A job-training program for a juvenile should provide training skills compatible with the juvenile's abilities and interests which will increase his or her employability for jobs available in the region. As a part of the job-training program, the juvenile should be provided the opportunity to obtain a GED if completion of high school is not part of the juvenile's service plan. But continuing eligibility to remain in a transitional living program should not be terminated upon the juvenile's inability to obtain a GED.
