a. 1. C. Provide the appeals process and policy referred to in section 106(b)(5) of WIOA relating to designation of local areas
Current Narrative:
New WVWDB Policy 200-01 ”Designation of Local Workforce Areas'' contains the basic procedure for the appeals process and is complemented by WFWV guidance. An appeal must be in writing and filed with the WVWDB within fourteen (14) days after notification of the decision regarding designation of local areas. Appeals must contain specific statements and include concrete evidence of the grounds upon which the appeal is sought. Pursuant to 20 CFR 679.290 (b) and 20 CFR 683.630 (a), the WVWDB will provide the parties with the opportunity for a hearing, review the appeal, and then the WVWDB has 60 days to review the appeal and make a recommendation to the Governor. The review will take into account the information in the original request and supplemental information provided in the appeal to determine if the criteria set in this policy have been met. The final decision rests with the Governor and will be provided within 30 days of the recommendation submission of the WVWDB.
