Current Narrative:
The State defers to local areas to determine the need for and to develop criterion and policy for additional assistance to enter or complete an educational program, or to secure and hold employment. When a Local Workforce Development Board does establish this criterion, the following policy conditions/language must be met: • Distinguish separate elements/definitions for In–School Youth (ISY) and Out–of–School Youth (OSY) participants. • Barriers already established by the WIOA cannot be included in the local Needs Additional Assistance policy. • Required documentation must be identified and defined for each criterion established. • In a single program year, not more than 5 percent of the ISY served can be determined eligible using this criterion. Local areas that choose to use this criterion in their OSY or ISY eligibility must create a policy that is adopted by the local board and included in the Local Plan.
