b. Explain how the State will provide information and meaningful assistance to individuals requesting assistance in filing a claim for unemployment compensation through one-stop centers, as required by WIOA as a career service
Current Narrative:
The presence of UI staff in all of ADWS’ local offices significantly lessens the need to rely on Employment Service and WIOA staff to provide information and meaningful assistance to individuals seeking to file unemployment compensation claims through the one-stop centers. However, UI Technical provides basic training to Employment Services and WIOA staff to enable them to provide basic information and meaningful assistance to UI claimants. Furthermore, the interconnectivity of the electronic interface that exists between the UI data system and the Wagner- Peyser data system enable the immediate registration of UI claimants to register and apply for jobs through the Arkansas JobLink system.
