PA takes it on a case by case basis. If she's working, no. If she's in school, or needs to be, in order to get a job, yes, but only until she's able to support herself. If she's disabled, or has pre-school kids, probably, until the situation changes.
Note: I used "she" because 99.9% of the time that's the case, but it can be the other way around.
