TO: Members of the Workforce Innovation Board (WIB)

FROM: Gary Pelfrey, WIB Chair

DATE: September 13, 2017 SUBJECT: PHASE II MOUs – WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORUTNITY ACT (WIOA) - AMERICA’S JOB CENTER OF CALIFORNIA (AJCC) - RESOURCE SHARING AGREEMENT RECOMMENDED ACTION

Ratify the Executive Committee decisions of August 23, 2017, to:

1. Authorize the Chair of the Workforce Innovation Board to sign the American’s Job Center of California Resource Sharing Agreement (Attached).

2. Recommend the Board of Supervisors sign the Resource Sharing Agreement.

3. Authorize the HHSA/WIB staff to submit the Resource Sharing Agreement to the State Board.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION

Workforce Service Directive (WSD) 16-09 regarding WIOA Phase II MOUs for Comprehensive AJCCs states, in part, that partners will address how to sustain the unified system described in Phase I through the use of resource sharing and joint infrastructure cost funding which must be in place at the local level by September 1, 2017.

BACKGROUND

In order to establish a high quality America’s Job Center of California (AJCC) also known as One-Stop delivery system and enhance collaboration amongst partner programs, WIOA requires Local Boards to develop MOUs with all AJCC required partners present in their Local Workforce Development Area. The expectation is that these MOUs serve as a functional tool as well as visionary plan for how the Local Board and AJCC partners will work together to create a unified service delivery system that best meets the needs of their shared customers.

FISCAL IMPACT

No fiscal impact. The Resource Sharing Agreement is a consolidated budget which identifies the share of infrastructure cost allocated to each AJCC collocated partner as well as each AJCC partner’s cost for the service delivery of applicable career services (basic and individual career services). AGENCY COORDINATION

HHSA/WIB staff to submit the Comprehensive Resource Sharing Agreement (Memorandum of Understanding Attachment D) to the State Board. Attachment: Comprehensive Resource Sharing Agreement/Attachment D

   4.  A description of the process to be used among partners to resolve issues during the MOU duration period when consensus 

cannot be reached.  As described in the MOU, the parties agree to try to resolve or practice disputes at the lowest level.  If issues cannot be resolved at this level, they shall be referred to the management staff of the respective partner for discussion and resolution.

2.  Required Phase II MOU Component:  Sharing Infrastructure Costs   Budget, Cost Allocation Methodology, Initial Proportionate Share   

Phase II MOU Content Requirements:   A budget outlining the infrastructure costs for each comprehensive AJCC in the Local Area with a detailed description of what specific costs are included in each line item.  When establishing the infrastructure cost budget, Local Boards have two options:  Option 1:  Develop a separate budget for each comprehensive AJCC. Option 2:  Develop a consolidated system‐wide budget for its network of comprehensive AJCCs  If the Local Board chooses to negotiate infrastructure costs based on their network of comprehensive AJCCs, rather than center by center, then the budgets for all the comprehensive AJCCs can be consolidated into one system budget.  However, this consolidation may not distort the distribution of costs as they must be attributable to each partner equally and in accordance with the agreed upon cost allocation methodology).  Consolidations might allow the “financing” of infrastructure cost between partners more easily.  It is not required that each partner contribute to each comprehensive AJCC, as long as their consolidated share of contributions equals their responsibility to pay as determined by the agreed upon cost sharing methodology. 

 The Local Board and AJCC partners have chosen this option for developing the infrastructure cost budget:  ___X_ Option 1:  A separate budget for each comprehensive AJCC.  _____ Option 2:  A consolidated system‐wide budget for the network of comprehensive AJCCs

Cost Allocation Methodology to Share Agreed Upon Infrastructure Costs 

The Local Board and colocated partners must agree to a cost allocation methodology to identify the proportionate share of infrastructure costs each partner will be expected to contribute. Any cost allocation methodology selected must adhere to the following:  ‐ Be consistent with federal laws authorizing each partner’s program 

 ‐ Comply with federal cost principles in the Uniform Guidance.   ‐ Include only costs that are allowable, reasonable, necessary, and allocable to each program partner.  ‐  Be based on an agreed upon measure that mathematically determines the proportionate use and benefit received by each 

partner.  

Infrastructure Cost Allocation Methodology 

Identify the chosen and agreed upon cost allocation methodology:  The proportion of a partner program’s occupancy percentage of the AJCC (square footage) (This might differentiate between dedicated space to partners and common space, where more than one cost center is established so the distribution reflects a fair and equitable distribution of cost.)  The proportion of partner program’s staff among all staff at the AJCC  Other‐‐‐Please Describe the Methodology and the Rationale for Its Selection  (This could reflect the traffic patterns and usage of the center by distinct and common customers and mathematically distribute cost in a fair and equitable means.)

Initial Proportionate Share of Infrastructure Costs Allocated to Each Colocated Partner 

The initial proportionate share of infrastructure costs allocated to each partner based on the agreed upon cost allocation methodology, each partner’s estimated total contribution amount, and whether it will be provided through cash, non‐cash (in‐kind), and/or third‐party in‐kind contributions. This initial determination must be periodically reconciled against actual costs incurred and adjusted accordingly.  AJCC partners (or their respective state entity) may provide cash, non‐cash, and third‐party in‐kind contributions to cover their proportionate share of infrastructure costs.  If non‐cash or in‐kind contributions are used, they cannot include non‐infrastructure costs (such as personnel), and they must be valued consistent with Uniform Guidance Section 200.306 to ensure they are fairly evaluated and meet the partner’s proportionate share.   If third‐party in‐kind contributions are made that support the AJCC(s) as a whole (such as space), that contribution will not count toward a specific partner’s proportionate share of the IFA. Rather, the value of the contribution will be applied to the overall infrastructure budget prior to determining proportionate amounts and thereby reduce the contribution required for all partners.

Required Consolidated System Budget for “Applicable Career Services” 

The agreed upon budget for other system costs must align with the Phase I MOU agreement that outlined shared customers and services. If it does not, then the Phase I MOU must be amended to justify the budgeted system costs and align with Phase II. Therefore, Local Boards and AJCC partners should start by reviewing their signed Phase I MOUs in order to determine what each partner previously agreed to.  The other system costs budget must be a consolidated budget that includes a line item for applicable career services. The signed Phase I MOU required identification of the career services that were applicable to each partner program. Accordingly, this budget must include each of the partner’s costs for the service delivery of each applicable career service and a consolidated system budget for career services applicable to more than one partner. If new costs are accepted in Phase II then they must include language amending the Phase I descriptions as Phase I and Phase II must align for this budget. 

 Applicable Career Services are services authorized to be provided under each partner’s program and are described in Attachment B to the MOU.

      Partner Agreement to Share Other One‐Stop System Costs

The other system costs budget is an optional partner agreement to share other One‐Stop system costs that are authorized for and commonly provided through the AJCC partner programs to any individual, such as initial intake, assessment of needs, appraisal of basic skills, identification of appropriate services to meet such needs, referrals to other One‐Stop partners, and business services. Shared operating costs may also include shared costs related to the Local Board’s functions.   As with infrastructure costs, other system costs must be allocable according to the proportion of benefit received by each of the AJCC partner programs, consistent with the partner’s authorizing federal statute and Uniform Guidance.  The AJCC partners will ensure that the shared costs are supported by accurate data, are consistently applied over time, and that the methodology used in determing the shared cost will be reflected in a separate Cost/Resource Sharing Agreement.  These costs may be shared through cash, non‐cash, or third‐party in‐kind contributions. There is no state funding mechanism for other system costs that will be triggered due to lack of agreement at the local level for these costs.   Because the other system costs budget is optional and the deadline for submission of the Phase II MOU Resource Sharing Agreement has been significantly accelerated imminent, the Partners agree to continue to discuss methods of sharing Other System Costs to be described in separately negotiated cost/resource sharing agreement based on an equitable and agreed upon formula or plan.

AMERICAN’S JOB CENTER OF CALIFORNIA (AJCC) CERTIFICATION PROCESS

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Ratify the Executive Committee decision of August 23, 2017, to approve the Certification Process (attached) which tasks the AJCC Operator with the independent review and evaluation of the comprehensive and affiliate AJCCs as required by Workforce Services Directive (WSD) 16-20 in accordance with WIOA Section 121(g).

REASON FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION

HHSA/WIB staff is requesting the AJCC Operator assist with the certification process for the comprehensive and affiliate AJCCs to avoid potential conflicts of interest.

BACKGROUND

WSD16-20 issued on June 9, 2017, provides guidance and establishes the procedures regarding certification of comprehensive AJCC locations. WSD 16-20 states, in part, that in accordance with WIOA Section 121(g), Local Boards must conduct an independent and objective evaluation of the AJCCs in their Local Area once every three years using criteria and procedures established by the State Board.

The initial AJCC certification process will be conducted during Program Year (PY) 2017-18 and take effect PY 2018-19. For this initial certification, Local Boards are only required to certify their comprehensive AJCCs. Beginning PY 2018-19, Local Boards will be required to certify their affiliate and specialized AJCCs. Further guidance regarding the certification of affiliate and specialized AJCCs will be released in a Directive during PY 2017-18. The WIOA Joint Final Rule outlines three (3) key requirements for AJCC certification: 1. Effectiveness of the AJCC, 2. Physical and programmatic accessibility for individuals with disabilities, and 3. Continuous improvement. California’s certification process is centered on these key requirements and sets a statewide standard of service delivery that ensures all customers consistently receive a high-quality level of service.

There are two levels of AJCC certification: Baseline and Hallmarks of Excellence. The Baseline AJCC Certification is intended to ensure that every comprehensive AJCC is in compliance with key WIOA statutory and regulatory requirements.

33

In order to receive Baseline AJCC Certification, an AJCC must meet all the following requirements: The Local Board has implemented a signed MOU with all the required AJCC

partners. This includes both Phase I and Phase II of the MOU process. The AJCC has implemented the board-defined roles and responsibilities of the AJCC

operator and career services provider (i.e., an operator and career services provider is in place and functioning within the AJCC)

The AJCC meet all regulatory requirements to be considered a comprehensive AJCC as identified in the WIOA Joint Final Rule Section 678.305.

The AJCC ensures equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in accordance with the ADA, WIOA Section 188, and all other federal and state guidance.

The Hallmarks of Excellence AJCC Certification is intended to encourage continuous improvement by identifying areas where an AJCC may be exceeding quality expectations, as well as areas where improvement is needed. The State Board has identified eight (8) Hallmarks of Excellence with each one ranked on a scale of 1-5. It is important to note that certification is an individualized process; it will not be used to compare or rank one AJCC or Local Board against another AJCC or Local Board. In order to receive a Hallmarks of Excellence AJCC Certification, an AJCC must meet Baseline and receive a ranking of at least 3 for each of the following: 1. The AJCC physical location enhances the customer experience. 2. The AJCC ensures universal access, with an emphasis on individuals with barriers to

employment. 3. The AJCC actively supports the One-Stop system through effective partnerships. 4. The AJCC provides integrated, customer-centered services. 5. The AJCC is an on-ramp for skill development and the attainment of industry-

recognized credentials which meet the needs of targeted regional sectors and pathways.

6. The AJCC actively engages industry and labor and supports regional sector strategies through an integrated business services strategy that focuses on quality jobs.

7. The AJCC has a high-quality, well-informed, and cross-trained staff. 8. The AJCC achieve business results through data-driven continuous improvement.

As part of their process, Local Boards may choose to use staff, the AJCC Operator (unless it’s the Local Board), a subcommittee, or a neutral third-party to conduct the on-site, open, and independent evaluation of each comprehensive AJCC. Based on those evaluations, the individual(s) or entity that conducted the independent review can provide recommendations to the Local Board regarding certification status and continuous improvement strategies. It is the Local Board, however, that must officially decide and submit the certification status and accompanying continuous improvement plan for each of the comprehensive AJCCs in the Local Area.

To avoid potential conflicts of interest, the entity that conducts the on-site evaluations cannot be AJCC program partner staff or the Title I Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Services Provider. If a Local Board contracts out with a provider to serve as both the AJCC Operator and the Title I Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Services provider, that entity is also not allowed to conduct the on-site evaluation.

However, if a Local Board has been approved by the Governor to also act as the Title I Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Services Provider, Local Board staff may conduct the evaluation so long as there are clear and strong firewalls in place that separate the Local Board staff who work in the AJCCs from the Local Board staff

34

who would be conducting the on-site evaluations of those AJCCs. In this case, the State Board may request additional information and documentation from the Local Board to verify that the firewalls are substantive enough to remove any potential conflicts or biases.

Yolo County has one (1) comprehensive AJCC and one (1) affiliate AJCC, both AJCCs are located in the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) Service Centers buildings and are known as the “Employment Center”. The Woodland AJCC is the comprehensive AJCC because Employment Development Department (EDD) has representatives on-site, whereas the West Sacramento AJCC does not have EDD representatives on-site which makes it an affiliate AJCC.

FISCAL IMPACT

In order to receive WIOA Title I funds (Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth), each Local Area is required to have at least one (1) comprehensive AJCC which must be certified by the Local Board.

AGENCY COORDINATION

The AJCC Operator to conduct the on-site evaluations and report to the Executive Committee and/or staff; the Executive Committee and/or the WIB will approve AJCC certification recommendations; and HHSA/WIB staff will finalize and submit the certification status and accompanying continuous improvement plan for the comprehensive AJCC prior to the June 30, 2018 deadline, and the affiliate AJCC certification prior to the deadline established in a future directive.

70 PERCENT LLSIL AND POVERTY GUIDELINES FOR 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This policy provides the guidance and establishes the procedures regarding the 70 percent Lower Living Standard Income Level (LLSIL) for 2017 published by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) in the Federal Register on May 23, 2017. This policy also issues the 2017 poverty guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the Federal Register on January 31, 2017. This policy applies to all Local Workforce Development Areas (Local Areas) and is effective on their dates of publication in the Federal Register, May 23, 2017, and January 31, 2017, respectively.

This policy contains some state-imposed requirements. All state-imposed requirements are indicated by bold, italic type.

This policy supersedes Workforce Services Directive 70 Percent LLSIL and Poverty Guidelines for 2016 (WSD16-02), dated July 20, 2016. Retain this Directive until further notice. REFERENCES

• Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Sections 3(36), 127(b)(2)(C), 132(b)(1)(B)(v)(IV), and 134(d)(1)(A)(x)

• Federal Register, Volume 82, Number 98, “WIOA; LLSIL” (May 23, 2017) • Federal Register, Volume 82, Number 19, “Annual Update of the HHS Poverty

Guidelines” (January 31, 2017) BACKGROUND

The WIOA Section 3(36)(A) sets the criteria Local Areas use in determining whether an individual is a low-income individual. These criteria include two sets of data: the poverty guidelines, as published by HHS; and 70 percent of the LLSIL, as published by DOL. The Local Areas are to use the higher of these two measures to establish low-income status for eligibility purposes of WIOA Title I programs. The WIOA requires annual revisions to both sets of data. All Local Areas use the same poverty guidelines. However, the LLSIL identifies maximum qualifying income levels for residents in either of two broad geographic designations: metropolitan and

42

Draft Directive Page 3 of 3

non-metropolitan areas. Metropolitan income levels apply to residents living within Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) as defined by the Office of Management and Budget. Non-metropolitan income levels apply to places with populations under 50,000. In addition to the broad metropolitan and non-metropolitan designations, the DOL identifies three MSAs in California that have unique LLSILs: the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose MSA, the Los Angeles/Riverside/Orange County MSA, and the San Diego MSA. POLICY AND PROCEDURES

Follow these steps to determine if a person is a low-income individual:

1. Select the appropriate table for use by your Local Area from the five tables in the attachment (In those instances where a Local Area encompasses both metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas, the state has designated the higher of LLSIL figures for use in the entire Local Area).

2. Use the higher of either the LLSIL or the poverty guideline for the appropriate family size to determine low income status. A comparison of the applicant’s actual family income during the six-month income determination period with the six-month figures on the charts enables the reviewer to immediately determine income status.

3. Local Workforce Development Boards must set the criteria for determining whether employment leads to self-sufficiency. At a minimum, such criteria must provide that self-sufficiency means employment that pays at least 100 percent of the LLSIL established for a Local Area.

ACTION

Notify all affected staff of the changes to the LLSIL and poverty guidelines in this Directive. INQUIRIES

If you have any questions, contact your Regional Advisor at 916-654-7799.

   Page 1 of 3     

The Lower Living Standard Income Level (LLSIL) and poverty guidelines are used to establish low‐income  status  for Workforce  Innovation  and Opportunity Act  (WIOA)  Title  I  programs.  Local Workforce Development  Areas  (Local  Areas)  use  the  LLSIL  to  determine  eligibility  of  youth, eligibility of employed adults  for certain services, self‐sufficiency, and eligibility  for  the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. Local Areas should consult the WIOA for more specific guidance.  

Tables  1  through  5  show  the  70  percent  LLSIL  and  the  poverty  guidelines  for  western metropolitan and non‐metropolitan areas, and for three specific Metropolitan Statistical Areas in California.  In addition, each LLSIL  table  includes  the 100 percent LLSIL  that establishes  the Department of Labor minimum self‐sufficiency levels. The last column in each table shows the amount to be added to the figure for a family of six for each additional family member.  

Since  the  income  received during  the  six‐month period  immediately prior  to  the  individual's application for WIOA funded services is used for income determination, each chart below shows the six‐month, as well as the annual, figures for each family size. A comparison of the applicant's actual  family  income during  the  six‐month  income determination period with  the  six‐month figures on the charts enables the reviewer to immediately determine an individual’s eligibility.   Effective Dates

SALARY AND BONUS LIMITATIONS FOR 2017

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This policy provides the guidance and establishes the procedures regarding the 2017 salary and bonus limitations for individuals paid by funds appropriated to the Department of Labor (DOL) Employment and Training Administration (ETA). This policy applies to all subrecipients expending Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) program funds. The 2017 salary rates for executive level employees became effective January 1, 2017. This policy contains no state-imposed requirements. This Directive finalizes Workforce Services Draft Directive Salary and Bonus Limitations for 2017 (WSDD-167), issued for comment on May 30, 2017. The Workforce Development Community submitted no comments during the draft comment period. This policy supersedes Workforce Services Directive Salary and Bonus Limitations for 2016 (WSD16-06), dated August 8th, 2016. Retain this directive until further notice.

“None of the funds appropriated in Public Law 109-149 or prior acts under the heading ‘Employment and Training’ that are available for expenditure on or after the date of enactment of this section shall be used by a recipient or subrecipient of such funds to pay the salary and bonuses of an individual, either as direct costs or indirect costs, at a rate in excess of Executive Level II, except as provided for under Section 101 of Public Law 109-149. This limit shall not apply to vendors providing goods and services as defined in the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133. Where States are recipients of such funds, States may establish a lower limit for salaries and bonuses of those receiving salaries and bonuses from subrecipients of such funds, taking into account factors including the relative cost-of-living in the State, the compensation levels for comparable State or local government employees, and the size of the organization that administers federal programs involved including Employment and Training Administration programs.”

As a result of this law, the ETA issued TEGL 05-06 on August 15, 2006. This TEGL discusses the limitations on salary and bonus payments that can be made with funds appropriated to the ETA. Specifically, this TEGL provides information on programs affected by this provision, effective dates and funding cycles, covered individuals and transactions, application of the limitation, and related grant and contract modifications.

POLICY AND PROCEDURES

Public Law 109-234 sets the limit on salary and bonus compensation for individuals paid by funds appropriated to ETA at a rate equivalent to no more than Executive Level II. A salary table providing this rate is listed on the Pay and Leave page of the Federal Office of Personnel Management’s website. These levels are adjusted annually. Effective January 1, 2017, the salary and bonus limit is set at $187,000. It should be noted that these limitations do not apply to benefits that are not salary and bonuses. For example, fringe benefits, insurance premiums, or pension plans paid by a subrecipient are not included in this calculation. Per DOL’s ETA Region 6 Office, the salary and bonus limit applies to both the gross amount of salary and bonus, and to the rate at which the salary is paid. As a result, for individuals who do not work full time on ETA funded projects or who are only employed part time or part of the year, the salary and bonus limit will be prorated based on the amount of time the individual is dedicated to the ETA funded grant. The following are examples provided by DOL ETA Region 6 to illustrate how the limitations are calculated based on salary and bonus levels, as well as the rate at which they are paid:

Example 1 An Executive Director’s W-2 for 2017 includes $150,000 of gross compensation. He worked part time (.50 Full Time Equivalent [FTE]) all year. One hundred percent of the Executive Director’s salary costs benefited ETA-funded programs. 2017 Salary and Bonus Limit $187,000 Salary eligible for the salary and bonus limit $93,500 .50 FTE x 100% of salary = 50% (Calculation: $187,000 x 50%) Total gross compensation $150,000 Salary costs benefitting ETA-funded programs $150,000 (Calculation: $150,000 x 100%) Salary in excess of the salary and bonus limit $56,500 (Calculation: $150,000 - $93,500) In this scenario, the Executive Director’s salary is eligible for 50 percent of the annual salary and bonus limit (.50 FTE x 100% of his salary benefited ETA-funded programs). Therefore, $93,500 ($187,000 x 50% = $93,500) of the salary may be paid using ETA appropriated funds or other federal funds. The remaining $56,500 ($150,000 - $93,500 = $56,500) of the salary is in excess of the allowable 2017 salary and bonus limit and must therefore be paid using non-federal funds. Example 2 An Executive Director’s W-2 for 2017 includes $150,000 of gross compensation. He worked part time (.50 FTE) all year. Seventy percent of the Executive Director’s salary costs benefited ETA-funded programs. 2017 Salary and Bonus Limit $187,000 Salary eligible for the salary and bonus limit $65,450 .50 FTE x 70% of salary = 35% (Calculation: $187,000 x 35%) Total gross compensation $150,000 Salary costs benefitting ETA-funded programs $105,000 (Calculation: $150,000 x 70%) Salary in excess of the salary and bonus limit $39,550 (Calculation: $105,000 - $65,450)

Page 4 of 5

In this scenario, the Executive Director’s salary is eligible for 35 percent of the annual salary and bonus limit (.50 FTE x 70% of his salary benefited ETA-funded programs). Therefore, $65,450 ($187,000 x 35% = $65,450) of the salary may be paid using ETA appropriated funds or other federal funds. Since only 70 percent of the Executive Director’s salary costs benefited ETA-funded programs, the remaining amount of $39,550 ($150,000 x 70% = $105,000 - $65,450 = $39,550), which is in excess of the allowable 2017 salary and bonus limit, must be paid using non-federal funds. Example 3 An Executive Director’s W-2 for 2017 includes $200,000 of gross compensation. He worked full time all year. Forty percent of the Executive Director’s salary costs benefited ETA-funded programs. 2017 Salary and Bonus Limit $187,000 Salary eligible for the salary and bonus limit $74,800 (Calculation: $187,000 x 40%) Total gross compensation $200,000 Salary costs benefitting ETA-funded programs $80,000 (Calculation: $200,000 x 40%) Salary in excess of the salary and bonus limit $5,200 (Calculation: $80,000 - $74,800) In this scenario, the Executive Director’s salary is eligible for 40 percent of the annual salary and bonus limit (40% of his salary benefited ETA-funded programs). Therefore, $74,800 ($187,000 x 40% = $74,800) of the salary may be paid using ETA appropriated funds or other federal funds. Since only 40 percent of the Executive Director’s salary costs benefited ETA-funded programs, the remaining amount of $5,200 ($200,000 x 40% = $80,000 - $74,800 = $5,200), which is in excess of the allowable 2017 salary and bonus limit, must be paid using non-federal funds. All subrecipients of WIOA program funds are required to comply with federal requirements regarding the limitations on salary and bonus payments. Additionally, subrecipients are required to follow the instructions for implementing the salary and bonus limitations as provided in TEGL 05-06.

ACTION

Bring this directive to the attention of all affected staff and subrecipients.

PROGRAM YEAR 2017-18 RAPID RESPONSE FUNDING

The Rapid Response (RR) and Layoff Aversion (LA) funding provided to Local Workforce Development Areas (Local Areas) for the period of July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018, has been released (see attachment for specific funding detail). Please note these allocations include both the “formula” RR funding along with separate allocations for LA, consistent with the policy detailed in Workforce Services Directive WSD16-04 published on July 22, 2016. Use of Rapid Response and Layoff Aversion Funds These funds can only be used to defray the cost of required and allowable RR activities in response to layoffs, business closures, and natural disasters. Only expenditures for activities described in Sections 3(51) and 134(a)(2)(A) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) will be reimbursed under the formula RR grant codes. Other activities not described in these sections must be paid with other funds. As referenced in Directive WSD14-3, baseline, layoff-based, and hold-harmless RR funds will continue to be issued to each Local Area in their master subgrant, as grant codes 540 and 541. These formula RR funds may be spent on the wide range of required and/or allowable activities. Local Areas shall continue to report Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) participant enrollments funded with RR formula funds, under grant code 2274. LA funding will be issued under grant codes 292 and 293 in each Local Area’s master subgrant. These funds are to be spent exclusively on LA activities, which don’t include IWT. Participants receiving Additional Assistance services must be enrolled in grant code 241. Funds used for training services when serving Additional Assistance participants qualify as “leveraged resources,” which will assist Local Areas in meeting the training expenditure requirement, as described in Directive WSD14-1.
