The money available for CTAS seems to be very dependant on your argument. Have seen a couple recently get far larger dollars than 4400 on exit, and not just on a single endorsement. The form is a bit sneaky though, the CTAS is supposed to help you re-settle but if you have a letter of offer, you don't qualify for the cash (or so the form says - because you're considered to have found suitable employment). Who punches out without a job and decides which endorsement to hook up with no vine to swing from?
