You could also call this:

“Who doesn't need to prepare for work”

You don’t have to follow work-preparation rules if you are in one of two groups. The first group is people who are already work-tested beneficiaries. The second group is people who have been excused from all their work-test duties. If you’re in either of these groups, you won’t have to do the things listed in section 124 or section 125 of this law.
