20 CFR 663.600 - What priority must be given to low-income adults and public assistance recipients served with adult funds under title I?
- Section Number: 663.600
- Section Name: What priority must be given to low-income adults and public assistance recipients served with adult funds under title I?
(a) WIA states, in section 134(d)(4)(E), that in the event that
funds allocated to a local area for adult employment and training
activities are limited, priority for intensive and training services
funded with title I adult funds must be given to recipients of public
assistance and other low-income individuals in the local area.
(b) Since funding is generally limited, States and local areas must
establish criteria by which local areas can determine the availability
of funds and the process by which any priority will be applied under
WIA section 134(d)(2)(E). Such criteria may include the availability of
other funds for providing employment and training-related services in
the local area, the needs of the specific groups within the local area,
and other appropriate factors.
(c) States and local areas must give priority for adult intensive
and training services to recipients of public assistance and other low-
income individuals, unless the local area has determined that funds are
not limited under the criteria established under paragraph (b) of this
section.
(d) The process for determining whether to apply the priority
established under paragraph (b) of this section does not necessarily
mean that only the recipients of public assistance and other low income
individuals may receive WIA adult funded intensive and training
services when funds are determined to be limited in a local area. The
Local Board and the Governor may establish a process that gives
priority for services to the recipients of public assistance and other
low income individuals and that also serves other individuals meeting
eligibility requirements.
