III. b. 5. A. iii. Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities in Accordance with WIOA Section 133(b)(2) and Based on Data and Weights Assigned

Current Narrative:

The State follows section 133(b)(2)(A)(i) and TEGL 15-22 to formula allocate funding for Dislocated Worker 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 following data is used in computing these allotments: 

  • Insured Unemployment Data for the preceding Calendar Year (30% weight); 

  • Unemployed Concentration Data for the preceding Program Year (30% weight); 

  • Plant Closing and Mass Layoff Data for the preceding Calendar Year (15% weight); 

  • Declining Industries Data for the preceding Calendar Year (10% weight); 

  • Farmer/Rancher Economic Hardship Data for the preceding Calendar Year (2% weight); 

  • Long-term Unemployment Data for the preceding Calendar Year (13% weight). 

The Governor’s Workforce Cabinet will examine how this weighting impacts local distribution and if adjustments are needed. The State applies the 90% hold harmless provision contained in WIOA, section 132(b)(2)B)(iii).
