The legislation broadens the scope of eligible activities and costs, now including short-term training programs eligible for the Workforce Pell program apprenticeship programs costs to obtain a general equivalency degree remedial education . Furthermore, it extends the maximum program participation period from five to six years for youth engaged in remedial education, providing crucial additional support.
