  6. How do I apply?

  7. Who is eligible?
    There are eligibility guidelines based on family income during the past six months. If a family member has been out of work during that time, you might be eligible. You also might be eligible if your family receives food stamps or if you have a disability. If there is a possibility that you might be eligible, turn in a pre-application.

The Workforce Investment Act is an Equal Opportunity Program. Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities. All voice telephone numbers may be reached using TTY/TTD equipment via the SC Relay service at 711.
