In addition to being trade-certified, do TAA, ATAA and RTAA eligible individuals need to be receiving TRA payments to qualify for the HCTC?
Yes. They must be receiving money from their state (either unemployment insurance or TRA), and attend TAA-approved training or have a waiver saying they do not need training. However, as of March 2009, individuals who are approved in breaks in training are still eligible to receive the HCTC. Individuals who are in breaks in training might not necessarily be issued a check, but states should still continue to transmit records on their behalf so they don’t lose eligibility. This new legislation applies to all TAA, ATAA, and RTAA recipients, regardless of their petition date.
