dial parents and pregnant women shall be reviewed

‘‘(3) When a monetary incentive is payable because
of the more than minimally acceptable performance of re-
quired educational activities by a custodial parent, the in-
centive shall be paid directly to such parent, regardless
of whether the State agency makes payment of aid under
the State plan directly to such parent.
‘‘(4)(A) For purposes of this part, monetary incen-
tives paid under this subsection shall be considered aid
to families with dependent children.
‘‘(B) For purposes of any other Federal or federally-
assisted program based on need, no monetary incentive
paid under this subsection shall be considered income in
determining a family’s eligibility for or amount of benefits
under such program, and if aid under the State plan ap-
proved under this part is reduced by reason of a penalty
imposed under this subsection, such other program shall
treat the family involved as if no such penalty has been
applied.

such information with respect to the State operation of
the program as the Secretary may request.’’.
