(1) The cost of a uniform or other suitable clothing that is required for an individual's job placement or job-seeking activities.

(2) The cost of short-term shelter that is required in order for an individual to participate in assessment activities or vocational training at a site that is not within commuting distance of an individual's home.

(3) The initial one-time costs, such as a security deposit or charges for the initiation of utilities, that are required in order for an individual to relocate for a job placement or participate in training.

(4) The costs of an individual's participation in enrichment activities related to that individual's training program. For students this includes, but is not limited to, student trips, visits to museums, and supplemental lectures, when such activities are essential components of the training.
