(a) Where non-JTPA, similarly employed employees are covered under a
benefits package which includes retirement, JTPA participants shall
receive the non-retirement benefits (e.g., health, death, and
disability-benefit coverage), at the same level and to the same extent
as other employees. JTPA funds may be used to pay for those benefits.
(b) JTPA funds may be used to purchase a package of benefits
including retirement, provided the retirement portion of the package can
be factored out of the package and adjusted accordingly.
