Return to Earn Grant Program Governor Northam has removed the employer matching requirement from the Return to Earn grant program. The Alexandria/Arlington Regional Workforce Council will now reimburse the full cost of the hiring bonus that a City of Alexandria or Arlington County employer pays, up to $500 per new hire. New hires wages must be a minimum of $15.00 per hour. The position must be W-2 employment, but can be part- or full-time. Funds may only be provided to new employees hired by the employer, and the individual hired must be currently unemployed for at least 30 calendar days (as attested by the individual). To learn more about the Return to Earn grant program, other requirements, and to apply, visit the Alexandria/Arlington Regional Workforce Council website.
