Current Narrative:

The State follows section 128(b)(2)(A)(i) and TEGL 15-22 to formula allocate funding for youth activities. DWD communicates formula allocations on an annual basis. The most recent allocations memo (DWD Memo 2022-15), along with prior allocations memos, can be found at: https://www.in.gov/dwd/compliance-policy/policy/active/. The data used in computing allotments includes: 

  • The number of unemployed for Areas of Substantial Unemployment (ASUs) averages for 12-month period immediately preceding new program year as provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics; 

  • The number of excess unemployed individuals or the ASU excess (depending on which is higher), averages for the same 12-month period as used for the ASU unemployed data; and 

  • The number of economically disadvantaged youth (age 16-21, excluding college students in the workforce and military) from special tabulation data available from the American Community Survey (ACS). 

The State applies the 90% hold harmless provision contained in WIOA, Section 128(b)(2)(A)(ii).
