On the recordSeptember 11, 1995
If I can reclaim my time, I will be happy to answer the question. It says on page 4 of the amendment, eligible children are-- For purposes of this section, the term ``eligible child'' means an individual, who is less than 13 years of age and resides with a parent or parents who are working pursuant to a work requirement contained in section 404 of the Act. So I think it is clear that those who are eligible are under 13 years of age, can be with a single parent or parents, which I assume means married.
