Current Narrative:

(iv) State Reporting Processes

As per Section 116 of WIOA, as well as applicable federal regulations, the State will submit a single annual report covering all programs, in addition to the reports submitted by individual programs to their respective federal agencies if required.

The core program partners plan to use a process developed for the statewide longitudinal data system to identify co-enrollments. This system is used to link workforce data from the Idaho Department of Labor and data from Idaho educational institutions, which include the entities overseeing WIOA Titles II and IV.

To fully incorporate the use of unemployment insurance data for performance reporting, the combined plan partners await finalization of the SWIS data sharing template which will allow partners additional options for the collection, exchange and reporting of required data. We anticipate that the process will involve individual programs sending their performance information to a single entity (likely the Idaho Department of Labor) who will compile and submit the State Annual Report to the US Department of Labor. The core partners required to report under Section 116 will issue a Memorandum of Understanding that identifies who this entity will be, the responsibility of that entity for submitting on behalf of the core programs, and the process for submitting program performance data to this entity.

The eligible agencies administering core programs will be responsible for submitting program-specific reports in accordance with applicable Titles under WIOA, federal guidance from their respective Departments, and other statutes to which they are accountable (for example, the Rehabilitation Services Administration and The Rehabilitation Act for Title IV programs).
