•    U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to assess performance for four performance indicators under the WIOA title I core programs and for three performance indicators under the Employment Service (referred to as “WIOA title III”) core program;
•    U.S. Department of Education (ED) to assess performance for four performance indicators under the Vocational Rehabilitation (referred to as “WIOA title IV”) core program; and
•    Departments to delay assessing performance for the purpose of imposing sanctions for the WIOA title II core program and for the remaining performance indicators in the WIOA titles I, III, and IV core programs to provide for the orderly transition from the requirements of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) to those of WIOA, as permitted under section 503(a) of WIOA.

The Departments’ determinations, as will be described more fully herein, are consistent with the phased-in approach to performance assessments described in Training and Employment Guidance Letter No. 11-19, Change 1 issued on May 10, 2023.
