b. Explain How the State Will Provide Information and Meaningful Assistance to Individuals Requesting Assistance in Filing a Claim for Unemployment Compensation Through One-stop Centers, as Required by WIOA as a Career Service.
Current Narrative:
Wagner-Peyser staff members are cross-trained on UI eligibility issues and are responsible for conducting the UI work test and, more recently, have been designated as responsible for the UI eligibility assessment portion of the Re-Employment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program. Other core programs, including WIOA staff, are aware of UI eligibility issues through One-Stop staff meetings and a desk-aid developed by UI for One-Stop staff use in identifying potential eligibility issues. Wagner-Peyser management works closely with Unemployment Insurance management to provide continuous training to One-Stop staff on UI program changes that may affect eligibility.
