   enable the continued employment of the participant;

   placement, job training or education services; or
   				c. The participant is otherwise eligible for child care pursuant to Board
   regulations.

   2. Transportation that will enable parental employment or participation in
   services required by the agreement of personal responsibility.

   consistent with the purposes of VIEW.

   4. Medical assistance.

C. A participant whose TANF financial assistance is terminated, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, shall receive the following services for up to 12
months after termination, if needed:

   1. Assistance with child care if such assistance enables the individual to
   work or the individual is enrolled in an accredited public institution of
   higher education or other postsecondary school licensed or certified by the
   Board of Education or the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia and
   is taking courses as part of a curriculum that leads to a postsecondary
   credential, such as a degree or an industry-recognized credential,
   certification, or license;

   2. Assistance with transportation, if such transportation enables the
   individual to work;

   3. Medical assistance, including transitional medical assistance for families
   with a working parent who becomes ineligible for TANF financial assistance
   because of increased earnings according to policies of the Virginia Department
   of Medical Assistance Services; and

   4. Financial assistance of $50 per month, if the participant is employed and
   is working at least 30 hours per week or more at the time of TANF closure and
   remains employed and continues to work at least 30 hours per week or more.

D. The Department or local departments may purchase or otherwise acquire motor
vehicles from the centralized fleet of motor vehicles controlled by the
Commissioner of Highways under Article 7 (&#xA7; 2.2-1173 et seq.) of Chapter 11
of Title 2.2 and sell or otherwise transfer such vehicles to TANF recipients or
former recipients. Purchases, sales, and other transfers of vehicles under this
subsection shall not be subject to the provisions of the Virginia Public
