a. 1. D. Provide the Appeals Process Referred to in Section 121(h)(2)(e) of WIOA Relating to Determinations for Infrastructure Funding.
Current Narrative:
WIOA requires an infrastructure funding policy to support the One-Stop delivery system. Minnesota has had such a policy in place since 2010 for operations of the 48 One-Stops. This policy uses general customer, participant and staffing data to determine the proportional benefit that each title derives from the shared services now known as “Career Services” under WIOA. All infrastructure funding is borne by the local budgets of service providers.
This policy includes a dispute resolution process based on regulation 678.700, allowing the local partners to appeal the infrastructure funding dispute to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board, who will review all documentation and recommend a resolution. If the resolution is not accepted, the state funding mechanism will be used. Regulation 678.700 outlines the process the State board must use to establish a state funding mechanism. This is outlined in the state policy on infrastructure funding
