Current Narrative:

TITLE I – ADULT

Minnesota will obligate 85 percent of its WIOA Adult program formula allocation to local service providers, reserving 15 percent for administration and "10 percent" allowable activities for statewide goals.

When distributing the remaining amount to local service providers, staff take into account the following elements by converting them into shares of Minnesota as a whole and weighted equally:

  • The number of economically disadvantaged adults in each Local Workforce Development Area (LWDA)
  • The total number of unemployed individuals
  • The number of excess unemployed individuals (above the state average) in areas of substantial unemployment

Adjustments are made as necessary to maintain the 90 percent hold–harmless provision ensuring that no local area has less than 90% of their two year average.
