Current Narrative:

DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS FOR CORE PROGRAMS TITLE I PROGRAMS ADULT AND YOUTH TRAINING FUNDS ADULT FUNDS Of the total amount of funds allocated for Adult Training under WIOA §132(b) (1), the State will reserve 5 percent for statewide activities including administration as permitted by WIOA §128(a). The remaining amount will be distributed to local areas within 30 days of receipt as required by WIOA §182(e). 33 1/3 percent of the federal allotment to Maine is allocated to local areas based on the relative number of unemployed individuals residing in areas of substantial unemployment in each local area as compared to the total number of such unemployed individuals in the State. 33 1/3 percent of the federal allotment to Maine is allocated to local areas based on the relative excess number of unemployed individuals who reside in each local area as compared to the total number of such unemployed individuals in the State. “Excess number” means the number of unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the civilian labor force. 33 1/3 percent of the federal allotment to Maine is allocated to local areas based on the relative number of disadvantaged adults compared to the total number of disadvantaged adults in the State. Data for the first two requirements will be produced by MDOL’s Center for Workforce Information Services. Data for the third element will be provided by the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) from census data. The State will employ the discretion given by the Secretary of Labor to utilize the “hold harmless” clause: MINIMUM PERCENTAGE——No service delivery area within any State shall be allocated an amount equal to less than 90 percent of the average of its allocation percentage for the two preceding fiscal years prior to the fiscal year for which such determination is made. If the amounts appropriated pursuant to section 3(a)(1) for a fiscal year and available to carry out this part are not sufficient to provide an amount equal to at least 90 percent of such allocation percentage to each such area, the amounts allocated to each area shall be ratably reduced.
