The participants in the programs operated by Job Development must meet some eligibility requirements. (Note: All Public Assistance or Food Stamp recipients are automatically eligible for our services.)

	Economic eligibility is best determined by the office because there are certain types of income that aren't included. We determine eligibility on your income for the last 6 months prior to the date of application. You should always fill out a Preliminary Information form to be determined eligible or not, and if you aren't eligible, the coordinator will direct you to programs or agencies that might be able to help you.
	Dislocated Worker Status eligibility is, again determined by information you include in completing the preliminary information form - but this primarily is not based on your income. Basically, you may be eligible if you have been laid off from a job and there is little chance that you will be able to return to the type of work you have been doing.
	Youth Eligibility either be due to the economic status of the family or sometimes the youth alone. They can also be eligible if they are identified in their home school by the Committee of Special Education (i.e. a learning disability, handicap, etc.), determined eligible for the Free Lunch Program, or if they are in Foster Care. (There are some services available for youth who don't meet the above requirements if they are referred by another agency or school.)
