20 CFR 665.300 - What are rapid response activities and who is responsible for providing them?
- Section Number: 665.300
- Section Name: What are rapid response activities and who is responsible for providing them?
(a) Rapid response activities are described in Secs. 665.310
through 665.330 of this part. They encompass the activities necessary
to plan and deliver services to enable dislocated workers to transition
to new employment as quickly as possible, following either a permanent
closure or mass layoff, or a natural or other disaster resulting in a
mass job dislocation.
(b) The State is responsible for providing rapid response
activities. Rapid response is a required activity carried out in local
areas by the State, or an entity designated by the State, in
conjunction with the Local Board and chief elected officials. The State
must establish methods by which to provide additional assistance to
local areas that experience disasters, mass layoffs, plant closings, or
other dislocation events when such events substantially increase the
number of unemployed individuals.
(c) States must establish a rapid response dislocated worker unit
to carry out Statewide rapid response activities. (WIA secs. 101(38),
112(b)(17)(A)(ii) and 134(a)(2)(A).)
