d. Single-area State Requirements (D1-D4)

In States where there is only one local workforce investment area, the governor serves as both the State and local chief elected official. In such cases, the State must submit any information required in the local plan (WIOA section 106(d)(2)). States with a single workforce area must also include:
  • 1. Any Comments from the Public Comment Period That Represent Disagreement with the Plan. (wioa Section 108(d)(3).)

  • 2. The Entity Responsible for the Disbursal of Grant Funds, as Determined by the Governor, if Different from That for the State. (wioa Section 108(b)(15).)

  • 3. The Type and Availability of WIOA Title I Youth Activities, Including an Identification of Successful Providers of Such Activities. (wioa Section 108(b)(9).)

Current Narrative:

The state definition of basic skills aligns with the definition at WIOA 3(5)(B) and is used in conjunction with the priority categories for adult eligibility to receive individualized career services and/or training services. Additionally out-of-school youth who have attained a secondary diploma and are low-income must also be basic skills deficient or an English language learner.
