Current Narrative:
As described in the Integrated Service Delivery Policy (OWD 2-23) and in accordance with the provisions of and regarding individuals profiled as qualifying for and receiving services under the Re-employment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) Grant, and for those claimants who qualify for priority of service and/or are eligible for unemployment compensation for ex-service members (UCX) which provides benefits for eligible ex-military personnel. Additionally, the UCX program covers any former members of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.
Louisiana operates the RESEA program statewide due to its integrated service-delivery system. Louisiana’s system is demand-driven and operated under a continuous improvement process. Therefore, the system is able to respond quickly to immediate and long-term requests by connecting job-seekers to employers seeking candidates with the skills and/or credentials in demand occupations. Louisiana’s integrated service-delivery process was redesigned as a foundation for establishing operations that support the key principles in WIOA law and to initiate expanding partnerships and services.
