services unless you are exempt from WTW or qualify for an extension to the WTW 24-Month Time Clock.
Beginning with your 25

The core activities that you may participate in include education, employment, work experience, job search, and
community service. Some activities have a limit on how long they can count as a core activity, including job search and
job readiness related activities. Vocational education and training may only be counted as a core activity if you have not
already used your 12-month lifetime limit.
After using all of your WTW 24-Month Time Clock, if you do not meet the required hours of participation with an allowable
core activity, your cash aid will be lowered by removing your portion of the grant.
