Current Narrative:

The federal funds received to carry out a core program will not be expended for any purpose other than for activities authorized with respect to such funds under that core program.

The State distributes youth funds received to carry out a core program received under the WIOA equitably throughout the state and no local area suffers significant shifts in funding from year-to-year. In allocating Youth funds to local areas, the state allocates:

  • 33 1/3 percent on the basis of the relative number of unemployed individuals in areas of substantial unemployment;

  • 33 1/3 percent on the basis of the relative excess number of unemployed individuals; and

  • 33 1/3 percent on the basis of the relative number of disadvantaged youth.

For youth funds, each region is guaranteed to receive an allocation percentage for a year that is not less than 90 percent of the average allocation percentage of the local area for the prior two years. The State of Michigan has chosen not to utilize the optional 30 percent discretionary formula for distributing youth employment and training funds to local areas.
