The Unified or Combined State Plan must include the following with respect to activities carried out under subtitle B--
b. 5. Describe the State’s Criteria Regarding Local Area Transfer of Funds Between the Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs.
Current Narrative:
Policy Action This policy provides the mechanism for transferring up to 100 percent of formula–allocated WIOA Title I–B Adult funds to WIOA Title I–B formula–allocated Dislocated Worker funds and vice versa.
Background In accordance with WIOA Law, local workforce investment boards shall ensure the formula–based WIOA Dislocated Worker program, like all partners, contributes proportionally to one–stop core services’ costs. Some providers have expressed a wish to use WIOA Law, Section 133(b)(4) to transfer funds between Dislocated Worker and Title I–B Adult to accomplish this.
Procedures In accordance with WIOA Law, Section 133(b)(4), a local workforce council can, with state approval, transfer up to 100 percent of a program year allocation for Adult employment and training activities, and up to 100 percent of a program year allocation for Dislocated Worker employment and training activities, between the two programs. A local service provider cannot transfer funds to or from a WIOA Title I–B Youth Program.
In order for DEED to approve the request, the local provider will need to provide a rationale for the transfer in accordance with the request form given below.
A requesting provider must submit the following three documents:
- a completed and signed form (Request to Transfer Funds: Adult/Dislocated Worker – attached);
- a revised Dislocated Worker program budget and participant information forms (found in the Planning Guidelines); and
- a revised Adult program budget and participant information forms (found in the Planning Guidelines)
