It's called the WIA, Work Force Investment Act. You can look it up online. I never had to do it, but a lot of my friends at ACA used it to help finance their 737 types before going to SouthWest. Another used it for a G4 type. It basically says that if you work in a technical job (like us), and getting money will give you some additional training to help you secure a job when you are unemployed, the state will help fund a part of that training.

The key is, you have to be unemployed at the time you apply for it. And like I mentioned above, most government employees won't know what you are talking about. And like I also mentioned above, if the state is out of funds for that particular program, you are SOL.
