                   Subpart B_Administrative Procedures
 
Sec. 26.7  Financial assistance for program participants.

    (a) Individuals or families with a family member participating in 
the Employment Assistance program may be granted financial assistance, 
as needed, based upon rates established by the Area Director for the 
respective areas or jurisdictions within those areas.
    (b) Not more than thirty (30) percent of the funds appropriated for 
any program year may be used to pay for the costs of administration. 
Administrative costs include salaries and fringe benefits of direct 
program administrative positions such as program director or program 
officer, program/financial analyst, labor market analyst, clerical 
personnel, travel costs, materials, supplies, equipment, space and 
utilities. The remaining seventy (70) percent of funds available may be 
used for transportation and subsistence enroute to employment location; 
subsistence for one month or until the first paycheck from employment is 
received; emergency assistance is allowed where verified emergencies 
justify such grants and must have Area Director approval; and supportive 
services. Supportive services includes tools for employment, initial 
union dues, transportation of household effects, security and safety 
deposits, personal appearance and housewares, child care, and costs of 
employment counselors engaged in providing services to applicants 
(salaries, fringe benefits and travel costs).
    (c) Marital status of applicants is not a consideration for 
determining eligibility for services, but this factor is a consideration 
for determining appropriate subsistence grants. Proof of a legal 
relationship requiring support shall be required as a basis for 
application of family subsistence rates. In the case of married persons, 
proof of marriage shall be required to satisfy this requirement.
    (d) Financial assistance shall not be used to supplement the income 
of a person already employed.
