Current Narrative:

(iii) Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities

As authorized by WIOA, up to 25% of the state’s Dislocated Worker budget will include a set-aside for “Rapid Response” funds. These funds are used to assist local areas with supplemental funds to support services for layoffs that occur throughout the program year.

The state allocates the remaining Dislocated Worker funding to the service delivery areas based upon information that will include insured unemployment data, unemployment concentrations, plant closing and mass layoff data, declining industries data, farmer/rancher economic hardship data and long-term unemployment data. No other informational factors will be used. The data used and weight factors are:

  • 0.320 Average number unemployed
  • 0.320 Average number unemployed over the state’s rate
  • 0.320 Number of Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants with 15 weeks claimed
  • 0.010 Number of workers from plant closures
  • 0.010 Number of workers from mass layoffs (50 or more individuals laid off at one time)
  • 0.010 Industry employment declines by annual average monthly employment
  • 0.010 Number of USDA Farm Loan borrowers who are bankrupt or delinquent
  • 1.000 Total

To mitigate significant shifts in funding for service delivery areas, the Governor defined hold-harmless levels for the WIOA Dislocated Worker funds. Hold-harmless levels are based on 90% of an area’s relative share of the previous two years of funding.
