20 CFR 617.27 - Subsistence payments.

  • Section Number: 617.27
  • Section Name: Subsistence payments.

    (a) Eligibility. A trainee under this subpart C shall be afforded 

supplemental assistance necessary to pay costs of separate maintenance 

when the training facility is located outside the commuting area, but 

may not receive such supplemental assistance for any period for which 

the trainee receives such a payment under the JTPA, or any other law, or 

for any day referred to under Sec. 617.28(c)(3) pursuant to which a 

transportation allowance is payable to the individual, or to the extent 

the individual is entitled to be paid or reimbursed for such expenses 

from any other source.

    (b) Amount. Subsistence payments shall not exceed the lesser of:

    (1) The individual's actual per diem expenses for subsistence; or

    (2) 50 percent of the prevailing per diem rate authorized under the 

Federal travel regulations (see 41 CFR part 101-7) for the locale of the 

training.

    (c) Applications. Applications for subsistence payments shall be 

filed in accordance with this subpart C and on forms which shall be 

furnished to trainees by the State agency. Such payments shall be made 

on completion of a week of training, except that at the beginning of a 

training project a State agency may advance a payment for a week if it 

determines that such advance is necessary to enable a trainee to accept 

training. An adjustment shall be made if the amount of an advance is 

less or more than the amount to which the trainee is entitled under 

paragraph (b) of this section. A determination as to an application made 

under this section shall be subject to Secs. 617.50 and 617.51.

    (d) Unexcused absences. No subsistence payment shall be made to an 

individual for any day of unexcused absence as certified by the 

responsible training facility.
