Is anyone familiar or had any success utilizing the Workforce Investment Act in order to pay for tuition?

I will hopefully be attending a seminar this Thursday in Austin, TX. I am just curious if anyone has first hand experience with receiving financial aid utilizing this act. I am currently seeking employment yet desperately eager to return to school. I currently am in default status from a previous student loan thus unable to apply through FASFA until the remaining $1500 is paid off. I have to make payments over 6 months as they want to see consistent payments. So paying it off early is not an option. I mention this before I receive answers telling me to go this route. Financially speaking, I should definitely be eligible. Thank you for your info.

i went to nursing school in texas and used WIA to pay for tuition, meals, books, fees and depending on how far away you live from the campus some even got gas cards. it’s an excellent program. i just went to the unemployment office and signed up for it. after the program was over, i had to report whether or not i was working and how much i made for 12 mos. that was it. i highly recommend the program!
