This document provides guidelines for identifying, recruiting, and determining eligibility of students for migrant education programs. Through a question and answer format (using actual questions asked by migrant program personnel), the document addresses issues pertaining to guardianship, qualifying employment, industrial surveys, certificates of eligibility, and the Migrant Student Record Transfer System. The last section addresses miscellaneous issues such as moves made within foreign countries, moving before work is available, length of time between move and seeking employment, time limits on moves, identifying versus serving eligible migrant students, identifying students who do not receive services, and participation of tuition-paying nonmigratory children in migrant education summer projects. Each question includes the date asked and the names and titles of the persons asking and answering the question. (LP)
