- Program-specific Requirements for Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth Activities under Title I-B
The Unified or Combined State Plan must include the following with respect to activities carried out under subtitle B—
b. 5. Describe the State’s criteria regarding local area transfer of funds between the adult and dislocated worker programs
Current Narrative:
As outlined in Workforce Services Directive WSD15-23, transfer of funds requests can be submitted any time during the two-year life of the program funds, however transferred funds must stay within the original year of allocation and time period (i.e., July 1, first allocation funds, or October 1, second allocation funds).
- Local Areas must submit transfer requests in writing to the EDD. The transfer request must include the reason and/or rationale for the transfer, and be approved by the Local Board. Considerations for review and approval by EDD include the following:
- Changes in planned services to eligible participants.
- Unexpected layoffs requiring additional funds.
- Changes in the goals for serving eligible participants.
- Changes in labor market conditions.
- Effect of training on jointly funded employment and training programs in the AJCC.
- Effect on existing agreements for the delivery and/or coordination of employment and training services.
- Effect on current state and Local Area employment and training systems.
- Effect on the employment and training needs of eligible participants in the Local Area.
To the extent that a Local Area requests to transfer its entire allocation of dislocated worker funds to the adult program, the Local Area must be aware of the following implications pertaining to the transfer:
- The EDD will not consider Local Area requests for funding from Rapid Response Additional Assistance funds to mitigate the loss of dislocated worker funds resulting from the transfer.
- All transfers of funds are subject to the WIOA adult program priority of service requirement.
