The Unified or Combined State Plan must include the following with respect to activities carried out under subtitle B—
b. 7. Describe the State’s formal strategy to ensure that WIOA and TAA co-enrolled participants receive necessary funded benefits and services. Trade Act Sec. 239(f), Sec. 235, 20 CFR 618.816(c)
Current Narrative:
TAA and WIOA Policy reinforce the collaboration between TAA staff and WIOA Title I-B staff to assist in the reemployment of adversely affected workers as soon as possible. The State's strategy for partnership is ongoing communication between the TAA and WIOA program staff done through the Arizona Job Connection (AJC) shared case management system, email, telephone, or video calls to discuss participant statuses and agree on action steps to best assist the participant with funded benefits and services. The AJC system allows for the ease of sharing case notes, Individual Employment Plans (IEPs), assessment results, services provided, and the status of such services. To leverage funds, training approved through WIOA is allowed as a TAA approved training option, while TAA approved training is often accepted as WIOA-approved training. The programs' collaboration allows one program to provide benefits or services that are not allowed through the other program and fills any gaps an individual may encounter if co-enrollment were not an option.
