1997 Minnesota Statutes

     256.7382 Program participants; program expectations. 

    (a) All recipients selected for participation are expected 
 to meet the requirements of the program.  In determining who may 
 participate in the program, priority must be given to 
 individuals who are on the county's project STRIDE waiting list, 
 and also individuals who have applied for AFDC, and are 
 subsequently determined to be eligible for STRIDE.  An 
 individual who is enrolled in STRIDE, and is making satisfactory 
 progress towards completing the goals in the individual's 
 approved EDP, may continue with the existing EDP, and is not 
 required to participate in the MNJOBS program, but may volunteer 
 to participate in the program. 

    (b) Caretakers who are exempt from the program may 
 volunteer to participate in the program.  The caretaker will be 
 treated as a mandatory participant once an EDP is signed.  

    (c) Except as provided in paragraph (a), the program shall 
 supersede the STRIDE program in counties that operate a MNJOBS 
 program, except in MFIP counties, where STRIDE will be continued 
 for families assigned to certain research groups.
