Current Narrative:
The state issued interim guidance on WIOA Title I Adult Priority of Service, in which local areas are required to prioritize services for low-income individuals, participants on public assistance, and/or individuals who are basic skills deficient. The guidance requires that at least 50% of each local area’s Adult participants that are served must belong to one of these priority categories. Local areas will track in the case management system if a client meets the criteria for priority. Annually the local area’s percentage of priority clients will be monitored by DWD, and those local areas who fail to serve at least 50% priority clients will be given technical assistance by DWD to prioritize services to these populations going forward.
