a. 2. Describe Strategies Developed to Support Training and Awareness Across Core Programs and the Unemployment Insurance Program, and the Training Provided for Employment Services and WIOA Staff on Identification of Ui Eligibility Issues and Referral to Ui Staff for Adjudication.
Current Narrative:
As described in the Integrated Service Delivery Policy and in accordance with the provisions of and regarding individuals profiled as qualifying for and receiving services under the Re-employment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) Grant, and for those claimants who qualify for priority of service and/or are eligible for unemployment compensation for ex-service members (UCX) which provides benefits for eligible ex-military personnel. Additionally, the UCX program covers any former members of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.
Louisiana is one of the few states to operate the RESEA process statewide due to its integrated service-delivery system. Louisiana’s system is demand-driven and operated under a continuous improvement process. Therefore, the system is able to respond quickly to immediate and long-term requests by connecting job-seekers to employers seeking candidates with the skills and/or credentials in demand occupations. Louisiana’s integrated service-delivery process was redesigned as a foundation for establishing operations that support the key principles found in the new WIOA law and to initiate expanding partnerships and services.
