b. 5. Describe the State’s Criteria Regarding Local Area Transfer of Funds Between the Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs.
Current Narrative:
The State’s criteria is as follows -
Policy Action This policy provides the mechanism for transferring up to 100 percent of formula-allocated WIOA Title I-B Adult funds to WIOA Title I-B formula-allocated Dislocated Worker funds and vice versa.
Background In accordance with WIOA Law, local workforce investment boards shall ensure the formula-based WIOA Dislocated Worker program, like all partners, contributes proportionally to one-stop core services’ costs. Some providers have expressed a wish to use WIOA Law, Section 133(b)(4) to transfer funds between Dislocated Worker and Title I-B Adult to accomplish this.
Procedures In accordance with WIOA Law, Section 133(b)(4), a local workforce council can, with state approval, transfer up to 100 percent of a program year allocation for Adult employment and training activities, and up to 100 percent of a program year allocation for Dislocated Worker employment and training activities, between the two programs. A local service provider cannot transfer funds to or from a WIOA Title I-B Youth Program.
In order for DEED to approve the request, the local provider will need to provide a rationale for the transfer in accordance with the request form given below.
A requesting provider must submit the following three documents:
- a completed and signed form (Request to Transfer Funds: Adult/Dislocated Worker - attached);
- a revised Dislocated Worker program budget and participant information forms (found in the Planning Guidelines); and
- a revised Adult program budget and participant information forms (found in the Planning Guidelines)
