The Unified or Combined State Plan must include the following with respect to activities carried out under subtitle B—
a. 1. D. Provide the appeals process referred to in section 121(h)(2)(E) of WIOA relating to determinations for infrastructure funding
Current Narrative:
As outlined in Workforce Services Directive WSD18-12, if a Local Area is unable to reach agreement regarding joint infrastructure costs with any of their America’s Job Centers of CaliforniaSM (AJCC) partners, they must notify the State annually by April 1 to trigger the State Funding Mechanism (SFM). Once the notification has been received, the CWDB will initiate a process to determine each AJCC partner’s contributions to infrastructure costs in the Local Area for that program year under the SFM. The process will include all appropriate state level authorities to enact the SFM.
All AJCC partner programs and/or the Local Board may appeal the SFM decision. Appeals must include justification by the program and/or Local Board and be based on believed noncompliance with WIOA Section 121(h)(3) that outlines the Governor’s funding allocations. All appeals must be submitted to EDD no later than 30 days after receiving the SFM decision. The state will respond to the appeal no later than June 30 of that year.
