- Program-specific Requirements for Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth Activities under Title I-B
The Unified or Combined State Plan must include the following with respect to activities carried out under subtitle B--
b. 4. Describe How the State Will Implement and Monitor the Priority for Public Assistance Recipients, Other Low-income Individuals, and Individuals Who Are Basic Skills Deficient in Accordance with the Requirements of WIOA Sec. 134(c)(3)(e), Which Applies to Individualized Career Services and Training Services Funding by the Adult Formula Program.
Current Narrative:
The State will exercise maximum flexibility in the implementation of priority of Adult Formula program-funded individualized career services and training services. The State encourages Local Boards to establish tiered priority-of-service policies assigning top priority to public-assistance recipients, other low-income individuals, and individuals who are basic-skills deficient, while ensuring that other eligible individuals outside of the top-priority group have access to these services.
Representatives from Adult Education and Literacy, Community Services Block Grant, Missouri Vocational Rehabilitation, Rehabilitation Services for the Blind, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Wagner-Peyser, and WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth programs will review the Participant Individual Record Layout and any other available federal report data elements and performance metrics to test for compliance with the priority of service rule, and ensure that priority of service is provided to public assistance recipients, other low-income individuals, and individuals who are basic skills deficient.
