a. 1. Describe how the State will staff the provision of labor exchange services under the Wagner-Peyser Act, such as through State employees, including but not limited to state merit staff employees, staff of a subrecipient, or some combination thereof.

Current Narrative:

In accordance with the Wagner-Peyser Final Rule, published on Monday, January 6, 2020, the State of Michigan will remove the requirement of its local areas to hire and use merit staff for the provision of Employment Services as of July 1, 2020.  The State of Michigan believes this flexibility will allow local areas to select a staffing model that best suits their needs.  All relevant state policies will be revised to reflect this change and provide further guidance based on the Final Rule, Training and Employment Notice 13-19, issued January 13, 2020, and responses to questions received following notification to local areas.
