which the petition that resulted in the certification was
filed under section 231, if the following conditions are met:
‘‘(1) TIME OF TOTAL OR PARTIAL SEPARATION
FROM EMPLOYMENT.—The adversely affected work-
er’s total or partial separation before the worker’s
application under this chapter occurred—
‘‘(A) on or after the date, as specified in
the certification under which the worker is cov-

adversely affected employment began or threat-

‘‘(2) EMPLOYMENT REQUIRED.—
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—The adversely affected
worker had, in the 52-week period ending with
the week in which the total or partial separa-
tion occurred, at least 26 weeks of employment

firm or subdivision of a firm.
onciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) is to move eco-
nomically disadvantaged adults toward self-suffi-
ciency through employment that pays a wage and
benefits at a level that will allow these adults to sup-
port themselves and their dependents without public
assistance.
(2) While there is evidence that PRWORA has
been successful in moving people off welfare and into
jobs, it is not known whether these individuals are
on the path to economic independence. There is no
standardized method for measuring the extent to
which PRWORA is meeting the objective of moving
families toward self-sufficiency or the impact of pub-
lic work supports. There is no requirement that
States, Congress, or the Administration ascertain
the point at which individual families living in spe-
cific locations will reach self-sufficiency.
(3) At the same time, there is no way of deter-
mining what programs have been successful in pre-
paring individuals for the workforce, helping them
retain jobs, and moving them in the direction of eco-
nomic independence.
(4) Absent this information, the Congress can-
not fully evaluate the success of welfare reform or
shall have the meaning given such term in
subsection (m)(4).
‘‘(iii) QUALIFIED PARTICIPANT.—For
purposes of this subparagraph, the term
‘qualified participant’ means—
