Current Narrative:

Florida uses the following four factors (with relative weight of each factor noted) in determining allocation percentages used to distribute Dislocated Worker funding to the 24 LWDBs:

Figure 3.17

Distribution of Dislocated Worker Funding Percentages

FactorWeight
12-month average of reemployment assistance claimants20%
12-month average of unemployed individuals25%
Mass Layoff Statistics (number of initial claims)25%
Long-Term Unemployed (12-month average unemployment compensation Final Payments)30%

Note: All factors are based on the most recent calendar year data available.

For each of these four factors, relative percentages are calculated for each LWDB, weights are then applied, and the resulting amounts combined to determine the full 100 percent factor for each local workforce development board.

Funds not distributed using these formula factors are reserved at the state level for discretionary awards to address specific dislocation events and operate the state’s rapid response unit.
