The Unified or Combined State Plan must include the following with respect to activities carried out under subtitle B--
a. 1. C. Provide the Appeals Process Referred to in Section 106(b)(5) of WIOA Relating to Designation of Local Areas.
Current Narrative:
All local areas under WIA were designated as local areas under WIOA, thus the State Workforce Development Board did not receive any requests for appeal. Any units of general local government or grant recipients that request but are not granted initial or subsequent designation as a local area will have the opportunity to submit an appeal to the State WDB.
DWD will issue a policy outlining the appeal process for local area designation requests for both initial and subsequent designation of an area as a local area under WIOA sec. 106(b)(2) and 106(b)(3). This policy will describe due process procedures for timely request for and prompt resolution of appeals and will include opportunities for a hearing. The policy will indicate that if a decision on the appeal is not rendered in a timely manner or if the appeal does not result in designation, appellants may request review by the Secretary under § 683.640. The State will have the policy established no later than July 1, 2018.
