b. 5. Describe the State’s criteria regarding local area transfer of funds between the adult and dislocated worker programs

Current Narrative:

Our Governor has allowed all local areas to transfer up to 100 percent of their allocations between the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs without a waiver, thereby allowing local areas with the maximum flexibility to provide services in the areas of greatest need.  Local areas are required to submit Budget Information Summaries to the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity to affect any transfers between the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs.      

The State takes into account the employment and service needs of the local area for both job seekers and employers, meeting the local area’s negotiated level of performance, and review of quarterly expenditure reports to ensure compliance with WIOA allowable costs and expenditures.  Career and training services must continue to be made available to both adults and dislocated workers.

The State issues yearly policies to our local Michigan Works! Agencies for the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult, Dislocated Worker (DW), and Youth Program Allocations for each Allocation Year.  The policy includes the following language:  “Local areas may transfer up to 100 percent of their AY allocations between the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs without a waiver.  Local areas will need to submit Budget Information Summaries to the WD to affect any transfers between the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs.”
