One of the states in our Region has asked how other states are implementing alternative educational or training programs for teenage parents who are not attending high school or another equivalent training program (Sec. 408 (a)(4)(B)). The concern is for teens under 18 who cannot attend regular high school or GED programs for good cause, such as the prolonged illness of the teen or of the teen's child. If you know how other states may be serving this group, we would appreciate any information you can provide.
