(a) Each State agency and each local office shall offer to migrant
and seasonal farmworkers (MSFWs) the full range of employment services,
benefits and protections, including the full range of counseling,
testing, and job and training referral services as are provided to non-
MSFWs. In providing such services, the State agency shall consider and
be sensitive to the preferences, needs, and skills of individual MSFWs
and the availability of job and training opportunities.
(b) Each State agency shall assure that, in a local area, the same
local offices, including itinerant and satellite offices, but exclusive
of day-haul operations, offer services to both non-MSFWs and MSFWs.
Separate farm labor service local offices, which offer only farmwork to
agricultural workers while another local office serving the same
geographical area offers other JS services to other applicants, are
prohibited so that all applicants receive employment services on the
same basis.
