Subd. 13.Work activity.
(a) "Work activity" means any activity in a participant's approved employment plan that leads to employment. For purposes of the MFIP program, this includes activities that meet the definition of work activity under the participation requirements of TANF. Work activity includes:
(3) uncompensated work experience, including community service, the community work experience program as specified in section 256J.67, unpaid apprenticeships or internships, and supported work when a wage subsidy is not provided. Uncompensated work experience is only an option if the participant has been unable to obtain or maintain paid employment in the competitive labor market, and no paid work experience programs are available to the participant. Prior to placing a participant in uncompensated work, the county must inform the participant that the participant will be notified if a paid work experience or supported work position becomes available. Unless a participant consents in writing to participate in uncompensated work experience, the participant's employment plan may only include uncompensated work experience if the following criteria are met:
(i) the uncompensated work experience will provide the participant specific skills or experience that cannot be obtained through other work activity options where the participant resides or is willing to reside; and
(ii) the skills or experience gained through the uncompensated work experience will result in higher wages for the participant than the participant could earn without the uncompensated work experience;
(5) job readiness education, including English as a second language (ESL) or functional work literacy classes, commissioner of education-selected high school equivalency or adult high school diploma course work, high school completion, and adult basic education;
(6) job skills training directly related to employment, including postsecondary education and training that can reasonably be expected to lead to employment;
(b) "Work activity" does not include activities done for political purposes as defined in section 211B.01, subdivision 6.
