OLGT 2024-56: Cross Programs: Additional Noncountable Programs

In 2024, the Springfield WORKS Cliff Effect Pilot will assist 100 Massachusetts residents in Springfield, Worcester, and Boston who are receiving public assistance. The program will help participants to secure higher-paying jobs over three years by providing cash benefits, career coaching, and employment partnerships.

Additionally, starting on September 1, 2024, the Massachusetts Workforce Skills Fund stipend program will offer financial support to eligible residents enrolled in job training programs. The fund aims to reduce barriers to job
training and employment by providing financial aid for trainees gaining skills and credentials for in-demand occupations.

The income received from the Springfield WORKS Cliff Effect Pilot and the Massachusetts Workforce Skills Fund is noncountable for all DTA programs.
