Workforce investment act

I secured a WIA grant at first to pay for trucking school but then I realized it would pay for a lot of other things. I ended up picking a Mechanical Engineering Technology
associates degree at this college called Texas State Technical College. I'm working on getting everything ironed out right now. There is a lot of hassle and red tape.

My question is in regard to having a job during this whole thing. The woman that works for TWC is of course a typical low IQ, worthless, apathetic government employee.
So I am unsure if the little she does know is factual. When I asked her if I could get a job AFTER starting school she told me yes but it can ONLY be part time and she didn't
say it but I am assuming it should also be low income as well? Is that true?

The college program doesn't start until 8/13 and student housing applications don't start until 6/13. I am afraid if I get a job in the meantime that the fact that I have
a job will cause the grant to cancel. Because you have to be unemployed in order to get the grant and until 8/13 when everything is signed and done the grant is in effect on hold.

I'm asking you guys here in this trucking forum because mainly the only people who have any experience on this subject are truckers who used the grant for school.

Can any of you shed a little light on the subject please??

 

Ok I just want to get it 100% correct. I really want to get a job its hard living on no income but I know this is my last chance to go to college in my life I dont wanna mess it up.
So wait after I get the grant and Im living on campus or whatever I can only make 11,490.00 dollars per year? Or what works out to $957.00 per month or $6.91 per hour and If I find a job that pays more than that while Im going to school they will cancel the grant?? I cant live on that.
And I cant ask the woman at the workforce commission my PSR or whatever. I dont want them to misconstrue my asking and get the impression Im not looking for a '
job and cancel the grant.I used to make $40,000 per year.. so are you saying that I am allowed to make anything up to the amount I got paid in the past but no more? Or I cant make any more than $11490.00 per year?? Which please? Thanks.
