d. Single-area State Requirements (D1-D4)

In States where there is only one local workforce investment area, the governor serves as both the State and local chief elected official. In such cases, the State must submit any information required in the local plan (WIOA section 106(d)(2)). States with a single workforce area must also include:
  • 1. Any Comments from the Public Comment Period That Represent Disagreement with the Plan. (wioa Section 108(d)(3).)

  • 2. The Entity Responsible for the Disbursal of Grant Funds, as Determined by the Governor, if Different from That for the State. (wioa Section 108(b)(15).)

  • 3. The Type and Availability of WIOA Title I Youth Activities, Including an Identification of Successful Providers of Such Activities. (wioa Section 108(b)(9).)

Per DWD’s recently issued Youth Eligibility, the State’s definition is as follows:

The term “basic skills deficient” means, with respect to an individual:

  • Have English reading, writing, or computing skills at or below the 8.9 grade level on a generally accepted standardized test; or

  • Are unable to compute or solve problems, or read, write, or speak English at a level necessary to function on the job, in the individual’s family, or in society. This is defined as:

  • Lacks a high school diploma or equivalency and is not enrolled in secondary education; or

  • Scores 8.9 or below on the TABE; or

  • Is enrolled in Title II adult education (including enrolled for ESL); or

  • Has poor English language skills ( and would be appropriate for ESL even if the individual isn’t enrolled at the time of WIOA entry into participation); or

  • Is WorkINdiana eligible (Title II participants are eligible for WorkINdiana up to a year after exit); or

  • The case manager makes detailed observations of deficient functioning and records those detailed observations as justification in a case note; or

    For in-school only:
