III. b. 5. A. i. Youth Activities in Accordance with WIOA Section 128(b)(2) or (b)(3)

Current Narrative:

All Youth program funds will be allocated using the three required factors of substantial unemployment, excess unemployment, and economically disadvantaged individuals.

  • 1/3 of the funds allocated on the number of unemployed residing in areas of substantial unemployment (6.5% or higher unemployment)
  • 1/3 of the funds allocated on excess unemployment (number of unemployed over 4.5%)
  • 1/3 of the funds allocated on the number of economically disadvantaged youths

The hold-harmless provisions defined under WIOA are applied to the Youth program allocations. Hold-harmless levels are based on 90% of an area’s average relative share of the previous two years of funding.

The state Workforce Development Council has updated the policy for “Distribution of WIOA Title IB Formula Funds, Recapture and Reallocation”.  It was approved by the Council’s One-Stop Committee and approved by the full Council on October 13, 2021.  The policy ensures that the state’s fund distribution model first allocates funding to the state’s two local areas.  Within the largest local area, funds will be further distributed among the five service delivery areas. The policy directs the state to follow WIOA fund distribution requirements at WIOA Sec. 128(b) and Sec. 133(b) and can be found on the Council’s website at : ID Workforce Development Council Funds distribution, Recapture and Reallocation Policy (link)
