SUBJECT: Policy 2017001Appeals Process for Funding The Infrastructure Cost Of One Stop System
References: Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 section 121(h)(2)(E)
20 CFR § 678.750, Final Rule, dated August 19, 2016
1. The Delaware Workforce Development Board (DWDB) establishes this appeals process for funding the infrastructure cost of one stop system.
2. One Stop partners will, to the greatest extent possible, resolve conflicts at the lowest level possible. This resolution usually occurs at the division or comparable unit level.
3. Only a division director of a participating One Stop Partner directly affected by an allocation may initiate an appeal and that appeal only addresses infrastructure costs allocations based on proportional use.
4. The DWDB executive committee will hear appeals with a notification as a special meeting; the DWDB executive director will post the special meeting notice on Delaware’s Government Information Calendar Website. Normal quorum rules will apply and the DWDB chairman will chair an appeal hearing.
5. The appellate process is:
a. The director initiates the appeal by providing a written request to the DWDB Executive Director. The written request must specifically address the cost allocation/proportional use concern. The request will detail the efforts made to resolve the impasse.
b. The DWDB executive director will, within 14 days, schedule an appeal hearing. The executive committee will meet as soon as a quorum is available and all parties to the dispute are available.
c. The executive committee will hear from the all parties and make a final determination. The final determination is a majority vote of the quorum.
