- Program-specific Requirements for Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth Activities under Title I-B
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:
(7) The OWD Trade Act Navigator(s) is required to review WIOA benefits and services with the trade-affected worker. The worker is then provided a TAA Participant Referral to WIOA Dislocated Worker Enrollment form. The worker can request to be referred to WIOA or they can decline participation in the WIOA program. Also, if while the Trade Act Navigator is working with the trade-affected worker and discovers a need that TAA cannot provide but WIOA can, the worker is then formally referred to the WIOA program for appropriate benefits and services. This process ensures that the individual receives the necessary funded benefits and services.
