"(5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a State may make further adjustments in the amounts of aid paid under the plan to different categories of receipients (as determined under paragraph (4)) in order to offset increases in benefits from needs related programs (other than the State plan approved under this part) as the State determines to be necessary and appropriate to further the purposes of the work supplementation program. "(6) Notwithstanding section 402(a)(8) or any other provision of law. a State operating a work supplementation program under this section may reduce or eliminate the amount of earned income to be disregarded under the State plan as the State determines to be necessary and appropriate to further the purposes of the work supplementation program. "(c)(1) A work supplementation program operated by a State under this section shall provide that any individual who is an eligible individual (as determined under paragraph (2)) may choose to take a supplemented job (as defined in paragraph (3)) to the extent supplemented jobs are available under the program. Payments by the State to individuals or to employers under the program shall be expenditures incurred by the State for aid to families with dependent children, except as limited by subsection (d).

"(3) For purposes of this section, a supplemented job is— "(A) a job position provided to an eligible individual by the State or local agency administering the State plan under this part; "(B) a job position provided to an eligible individual by a public or nonprofit entity for which all or part of the wages are paid by such State or local agency; or "(C) a job position provided to an eligible individual by a proprietary entity involving the provision of child day care services for which all or part of the wages are paid by such State or local agency, but only if such entity does not claim a credit for any part of the wages paid to such eligible individual under section 40 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (relating to credit for expenses of the work incentive program) or section 44B of such Code (relating to credit for employment of certain new employees). A State may provide or subsidize any job position under the program as such State determines to be appropriate, but acceptance of any such position shall be voluntary.
