* Sec. 102(b)(D)(iii) of WIOA
d. 2. N. ii. I. The Provision of Extended Services for a Period Not to Exceed 4 Years; and
Current Narrative:
• At the time of application, if an individual is believed to require extended services due to the severity of their disability and barriers to employment, a “flag” is placed on the individual within our AWARE case management system. Then, when it comes time to develop a plan for employment for the individual there is another decision point at which time the “flag” either stays on or is taken off depending on the need of the individual at that time. When a referral is made to a provider, there is a discussion that extended services are available to this individual and that he or she may require longer term support services. Those extended services expenditures (such as job development and job coaching) are then coded to the specific grant.
