A 4601 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to clarifying the definitions of vocational educational training and educational activities

This bill clarifies the definitions of vocational training and educational activities covered under social services programs. It specifies that programs must include job-focused education (like financial literacy, career advice, or high school equivalency) and limits post-secondary education support to four years, provided it aligns with an individual's employment goals. Social services districts must ensure participants maintain a C average (or equivalent) in approved programs, with waivers available for hardships like illness. The bill directly affects low-income job seekers receiving social services and the districts administering these programs.
