b. 5. Describe the State’s criteria regarding local area transfer of funds between the adult and dislocated worker programs
Current Narrative:
ADWS’ Issuance PY 22-02 describes the state’s policy on transferring funds between adult and dislocated worker programs.
“Revision to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Funds Transfers Process”
1. Purpose: To revise the process for transferring funds between the adult and dislocated worker
funding streams under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
2. Reference: WIOA sec. 133(b)(4) provides the authority for local workforce areas, with approval from the Governor, to transfer up to 100 percent of the adult Activities funds for expenditure on Dislocated Worker Activities, and up to 100 percent of Dislocated Worker Activities funds for expenditure on Adult Activities. As the Governor’s administrative entity for the WIOA, the director of the Arkansas Division of Workforce Services has the authority to approve these funds transfers.
3. Change: Effective July 1, 2022, No funds transfers will be approved during the first program year of an award. Funds transfers will only be approved starting with the second program year of the award. This will give the LWDB’s adequate time to serve DLW participants. Local areas should make every effort to expend DLW funds in the manner in which the grant is awarded. This includes developing and executing strategic outreach and service delivery plans.
4. General Information:
Funds transfers will be processed similar to the regular adult and dislocated worker subgrant award packages and using the same forms.
