Sec. 667.272  What wage and labor standards apply to participants in activities under title I of WIA?

    (a) Individuals in on-the-job training or individuals employed in 
activities under title I of WIA must be compensated at the same rates, 
including periodic increases, as trainees or employees who are similarly 
situated in similar occupations by the same employer and who have 
similar training, experience and skills. Such rates must be in 
accordance with applicable law, but may not be less than the higher of

law.
    (b) Individuals in on-the-job training or individuals employed in 
programs and activities under Title I of WIA must be provided benefits 
and working conditions at the same level and to the same extent as other 
trainees or employees working a similar length of time and doing the 
same type of work.
    (c) Allowances, earnings, and payments to individuals participating 
in programs under Title I of WIA are not considered as income for 
purposes of determining eligibility for and the amount of income 
transfer and in-kind aid furnished under any Federal or Federally 
assisted program based on need other than as provided under the Social 
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.). (WIA sec. 181(a)(2).)
