Does anyone one know whether North Carolina will finance 73 type rating training if furloughed under job retraining?

Thanks....

NC would only allow me $2500, but others after me got the full amount. I went through the WIA, but it depends on how much money is in the budget. I heard lately that they will give the money IF you have a job offer that is dependent on the type.
