Is a 60-year-old with custody of his 18-year-old grandson required to register for work?

In this scenario, the correct answer is that the individual is not required to register for work. Since the 60-year-old man is not a traditional head of household in terms of benefits programs that require work registration, he typically would not have that obligation due solely to his custodial status of an adult grandson.

This situation often hinges on specific eligibility criteria from programs like TANF or SNAP, which usually focus on individuals caring for dependents under a certain age rather than adult children. Additionally, since the grandson is 18, he is legally considered an adult and typically expected to take responsibility for his own employment and benefits, further alleviating any requirements from the grandfather in this context.

The options that suggest a requirement based on receiving benefits or income level fail to consider that not everyone in a custodial role is automatically subject to these types of regulations, especially when the dependent is of adult age. Therefore, the grandfather's status and his relationship with his grandson do not trigger a need for work registration.
