(a) To be an eligible dislocated worker in the adult and dislocated
worker program, an individual must meet the definition of ``dislocated
worker'' at WIA section 101(9).
(b) Governors and Local Boards may establish policies and
procedures for One-Stop operators to use in determining an individual's
eligibility as a dislocated worker, consistent with the definition at
WIA section 101(9). These policies and procedures may address such
conditions as:
(1) What constitutes a ``general announcement'' of plant closing
under WIA section 101(9)(B)(ii) or (iii); and (2) What constitutes
``unemployed as a result of general economic conditions in the
community in which the individual resides or because of natural
disasters' for determining the eligibility of self-employed
individuals, including family members and farm or ranch hands, under
WIA section 101(9)(C).
