(a) WIA funding for training is limited to participants who:
(1) Are unable to obtain grant assistance from other sources to pay
the costs of their training; or
(2) Require assistance beyond that available under grant assistance
from other sources to pay the costs of such training. Program operators
and training providers must coordinate funds available to pay for
training as described in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
(b) Program operators must coordinate training funds available and
make funding arrangements with One-Stop partners and other entities to
apply the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section. Training
providers must consider the availability of Pell Grants and other
sources of grants to pay for training costs, so that WIA funds
supplement other sources of training grants.
(c) A WIA participant may enroll in WIA-funded training while his/
her application for a Pell Grant is pending as long as the One-Stop
operator has made arrangements with the training provider and the WIA
participant regarding allocation of the Pell Grant, if it is
subsequently awarded. In that case, the training provider must
reimburse the One-Stop operator the WIA funds used to underwrite the
training for the amount the Pell Grant covers. Reimbursement is not
required from the portion of Pell Grant assistance disbursed to the WIA
participant for education-related expenses. (WIA section 134(d)(4)(B).)
