WIOA PHASE II MEMORANDUMS OF UNDERSTANDING – AFFILIATE AND SPECIALIZED AJCCs

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This policy provides the guidance and establishes the procedures regarding Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Phase II Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) for affiliate and specialized America’s Job Center of CaliforniaSM (AJCC) locations. This policy applies to all Local Workforce Development Boards (Local Board) and AJCC required partners, and is effective immediately. This policy contains some state-imposed requirements. All state-imposed requirements are indicated by bold, italic type. Retain this directive until further notice.

MOUs with each of their local AJCC partners that include Infrastructure Funding Agreements (IFA) and other systems costs budgets (WIOA Section 121[h]). In an effort to simplify the process, California initially released WSD16-09 on October 14, 2016, stating that the IFA requirement only applied to comprehensive AJCCs. However, on December 27, 2016, DOL released further guidance on IFA requirements through a set of FAQs. These FAQs specified that Local Boards must develop and negotiate IFAs and other system-cost budgets for all the AJCCs within their system, including affiliate and specialized AJCCs. In order to not disrupt the current Phase II MOU progress, the Employment Development Department and the California Workforce Development Board (State Board) are issuing separate directives for comprehensive and affiliate/specialized AJCCs. This directive outlines the Phase II MOU requirements specific to affiliate and specialized AJCCs.

POLICY AND PROCEDURES

All affiliate and specialized AJCCs will be held to the same cost-sharing requirements as comprehensive AJCCs, except for where the following guidance differs. Affiliate AJCCs are defined as a site where one or more AJCC partner makes programs, services, and activities available. Specialized AJCCs are defined as a site that addresses specific needs, including those of dislocated workers, youth, or key industry sectors, or clusters that is connected to the AJCC network of the Local Workforce Development Area (Local Area) (WIOA Joint Final Rule Section 678.300[d]). Local Boards and AJCC partners who are colocated within an affiliate or specialized AJCC must participate in the Phase II MOU process, which includes negotiating and signing the IFA and other system costs budgets. This includes any required and additional partners listed in WIOA Section 121(b). If a partner is colocated within an affiliate or specialized AJCC and was not included during the Phase I MOU negotiations, the Local Board must either amend a current umbrella Phase I MOU to add the new partners or enter into a new Phase I MOU with each new partner. If an affiliate or specialized AJCC only has one MOU partner within the AJCC, they are not required to negotiate the IFA as there are no cost sharing partners. Negotiation Options For comprehensive AJCCs, Local Areas were given the choice to conduct negotiations for the IFA and other system costs budget either by individual AJCC or as a network. This same flexibility is available for negotiating affiliate and specialized AJCCs. Local Boards and their partners may choose whichever combination of network or individual IFA and other system

cost budgets that best fits their needs. Examples of negotiation options include but are not limited to the following:

• Full network IFA and other system costs budget: The Local Area and partners will combine the negotiations for all their AJCCs. This would include the comprehensive, affiliate, and specialized AJCCs into one IFA and one other system costs budget.

• Individual AJCCs IFA and other systems budget: The Local Area and partners may

negotiate an IFA and other system costs budget for each individual AJCC, regardless of type, and nothing will be combined.

• Two separate network IFA and other system costs budgets: The Local Area and partners

may want to negotiate a network IFA and other system costs budget but keep the comprehensive AJCCs together in one network and separate the affiliate and specialized AJCCs into a second network.

• Any mixture of network and individual IFA and other system costs budgets: The Local

Area and partners may want to combine some AJCCs into a network negotiation while choosing to negotiate other AJCCs on an individual basis.

Timelines Program Year (PY) 2017-18 While DOL states that PY 2017-18 IFAs for all AJCCs (including affiliate and specialized) should go into effect by January 1, 2018, due to the delayed issuance of federal guidance and in an effort to not disrupt the progress that has already been made, IFAs and other system costs budgets for affiliate and specialized AJCCs are not required to be in place until PY 2018-19. Local Boards and AJCC partners have the option to include affiliate and specialized AJCCs in their current PY 2017-18 negotiations if they wish to do so. Since Local Boards are required to renegotiate these agreements on an annual basis if there are substantial changes (e.g., the addition of affiliate and specialized AJCCs), including them now could prevent the necessity of full renegotiations with all AJCC partners for PY 2018-19. As there is no extension provided for PY 2018-19 negotiations, Local Boards will have a short timeframe to negotiate the IFAs after the PY 2017-18 effective date of January 1, 2018, as detailed below. If utilizing a full network IFA, the entire network will need to be renegotiated by March 1, 2018, if affiliate and specialized AJCCs are not included in the PY 2017-18 negotiations. All comprehensive AJCC IFAs and other system costs budgets must be submitted to the State Board by September 1, 2017. If the Local Board chooses to include affiliate and specialized AJCCs during their negotiations for PY 2017-18, they must also be submitted by the September 1, 2017 deadline.

PY 2018-19 Local Boards must have IFAs and other system costs budgets in place for all comprehensive, affiliate, and specialized AJCCs by June 30, 2018. This requirement applies to each subsequent PY moving forward. If a Local Board does not believe they will be able to come to a local agreement regarding IFAs with any of their AJCC partners by the June 30, 2018 deadline, they must notify the State Board no later than March 1, 2018. Once the notification has been received, the Governor will initiate a process to determine each AJCC partner’s contributions to infrastructure costs in the Local Area for that program year under the state funding mechanism. The state funding mechanism is an annual process and will be triggered any time an IFA agreement is unable to be reached at the local level.

Other System Costs Specifics Affiliate and specialized AJCCs requirements for the other system costs budget does not differ from the comprehensive AJCC requirements within WSD16-09. All partners, regardless of colocation status, within an affiliate, specialized, or comprehensive AJCC must provide their applicable career services for the other system costs budget. As the applicable career services budget must match what is reported in the Phase I MOU, if the addition of partners within the affiliate or specialized AJCCs changes the career services total, then the Phase I MOU(s) must be amended to reflect the new amount. If the Local Area chooses to not include affiliate and specialized AJCCs as a part of their PY 2017-18 negotiations, no amendment to add in these new costs is necessary. However, for PY 2018-19 when the Local Area includes these additional locations, Phase I must be amended, if applicable.

YOUTH SERVICE ELIGIBLE PROVIDER LIST

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This policy provides the guidance and establishes the procedures regarding the California Youth Service Eligible Provider List (YSEPL). This policy applies to the Workforce Development Community, and is effective immediately. This policy contains some federal and state-imposed requirements. All state-imposed requirements are indicated by bold, italic type. This policy supersedes Workforce Services Directive Youth Service Eligible Provider List (WIAD01-15), dated March 14, 2002. Retain this directive until further notice.

REFERENCES

• Title 20 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 681.400 • Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Section 123 • WIOA Section 129

BACKGROUND

WIOA Section 123, Eligible Provider of Youth Workforce Investment Activities, requires Local Boards to follow this procedure when identifying eligible providers of youth activities:

“From the funds allocated under section 128(b) to a local area, the local board for such area shall award grants or contracts on a competitive basis to providers of youth workforce investment activities identified based on the criteria in the State plan (including such quality criteria as the Governor shall establish for a training program that leads to a recognized postsecondary credential), and taking into consideration the ability of the providers to meet performance accountability measures based on primary indicators of performance for the youth program as described in section 116(b)(2)(A)(ii), as described in section 102(b)(2)(D)(i)(V), and shall conduct oversight with respect to such providers.

(b) EXCEPTIONS.—A local board may award grants or contracts on a sole-source basis if such board determines there is an insufficient number of eligible providers of youth workforce investment activities in the local area involved (such as a rural area) for grants and contracts to be awarded on a competitive basis under subsection (a).”

WIOA Section 129(b) (1) (B) under the “Use of Funds for Youth Workforce Investment Activities” requires the state to participate in “(B) Disseminating a list of eligible providers of youth workforce investment activities, as determined under section123.” Under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), Local Workforce Development Boards (LWDB) were mandated to submit to the Employment Development Department (EDD) their youth service provider information annually. The procedure required LWDBs to fill out an Excel document with an access form to add, delete, or modify youth provider information anytime during the program year. The completed documents were mailed to the EDD, who published the updated list of youth providers quarterly in an Information Notice. With the implementation of WIOA, CalJOBSSM has been modified to automate the Youth Service Eligible Provider List (YSEPL). The automation process will eliminate the need for Local Areas to send physical forms to the EDD.


WIOA Final Rules Section 681.400 requires the Local Areas to adopt the following process to select eligible youth service providers:

“(a) The grant recipient/fiscal agent has the option to provide directly some or all of the youth workforce investment activities.

(b) However, as provided in WIOA sec. 123, if a Local WDB chooses to award grants or contracts to youth service providers to carry out some or all of the youth workforce investment activities, the Local WDB must award such grants or contracts on a competitive basis, subject to the exception explained in paragraph (b)(4) of this section:

(1) The Local WDB must identify youth service providers based on criteria established in the State Plan (including such quality criteria established by the Governor for a training program that leads to a recognized postsecondary credential) and take into consideration the ability of the provider to meet performance accountability measures based on the primary indicators of performance for youth programs.

(2) The Local WDB must procure the youth service providers in accordance with the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR parts 200 and 2900, in addition to applicable State and local procurement laws.

(3) If the Local WDB establishes a standing youth committee under § 681.100 it may assign the committee the function of selecting of grants or contracts.

(4) Where the Local WDB determines there are an insufficient number of eligible youth providers in the local area, such as a rural area, the Local WDB may award grants or contracts on a sole source basis.”

To automate the process in establishing a youth provider list, Local Areas should enter their youth service provider information directly into CalJOBS. The reporting Local Area representatives will have the ability to add, edit, and generate a report on all youth providers entered into the existing CalJOBS Local Provider Module.

Attached are detailed instructions on how a Local Area representative can modify the youth provider information, create a new youth provider, inactivate a youth provider, and run a report of all youth providers entered in CalJOBS at any time during the program year.

EDD will provide training via webinar detailing the new functionality. Additional information regarding the training will be communicated via Information Notice.

With the release of the final directive, EDD will no longer accept quarterly excel forms for YSEPL providers to update information pertaining to the youth provider list.

ACTION

The information contained in this directive should be shared with all staff involved in local activities required to establish the initial YSEPL in their area. It is the LWDB’s responsibility to establish, maintain, and exercise ongoing controls to ensure compliance with these requirements.

ALLOWABLE COSTS AND PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This policy provides guidance and establishes procedures regarding general cost principles, allowable costs, and prior written approval related to Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title I funds. This policy applies to subrecipients of WIOA funds and is effective immediately. This policy contains some state-imposed requirements. All state-imposed requirements are indicated by bold, italic type. This directive finalizes Workforce Services Draft Directive Allowable Costs and Prior Written Approval (WSDD-157) issued for comment on November 14, 2016. The Workforce Development Community submitted one comment during the draft comment period. A summary of comments, including all changes, is provided as Attachment 3. This policy supersedes Workforce Services Directive Allowable Costs (WSD15-15), dated January 22, 2016. Retain this directive until further notice.

BACKGROUND

On December 26, 2013, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued the Uniform Guidance, which establishes uniform administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements for federal awards. The Uniform Guidance consolidated multiple, previously separate, sets of OMB guidance into one combined set of rules. The following year, the DOL adopted the OMB Uniform Guidance and issued DOL Exceptions. The Uniform Guidance applies to all federal awards made on or after December 26, 2014. Therefore, beginning with WIOA Program Year (PY) 2015-16 funds, all subrecipients of this funding must adhere to the Uniform Guidance, DOL Exceptions, and corresponding WIOA administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements. For more information on Uniform Guidance implementation, please see TEGL 15-14.


Each state, Local Workforce Development Area (Local Area), and provider that receives funds under WIOA Title I is required to comply with Uniform Guidance (WIOA Section 184[a][3]). This includes general principles and guidance on selected items of cost. However, if more restrictive city, state, or federal guidelines exist, they take precedence. Local Areas should review and update their local policies and procedures to ensure compliance with this guidance. The Employment Development Department (EDD) has compiled a high-level matrix listing various cost items referenced in Uniform Guidance Sections 200.420 through 200.475 (Attachment 1). The columns in the matrix contain various entity types, specific CFR sections, and DOL Exceptions sections (if applicable). The matrix also provides a quick reference guide indicating whether a cost item is allowable or not. WIOA subrecipients can use the matrix as an initial tool, rather than the final authority, to determine whether a cost is allowable or not. In general, to be an allowable charge to WIOA, a cost must meet the following criteria:

• Be necessary and reasonable for the performance of the award. • Be allocable to the award. • Conform to any limitations or exclusions set forth in the award. • Be consistent with policies and procedures that apply uniformly to both federally-

financed and other activities of the non-federal entity. • Be accorded consistent treatment. • Be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. • Not be used to meet cost sharing or matching requirements of any other federally

financed program (without prior approval from the state). • Be adequately documented.

Expenditure of WIOA funds is only allowable for those activities permitted by the WIOA statute or federal regulations. Required and permissible program activities for adult and dislocated workers can be found in WIOA Sections 134(c) and (d), respectively. Similarly, allowable program activities for the youth program can be found in WIOA Section 129. Funds Awarded Prior to December 26, 2014 Funding received prior to December 26, 2014 (i.e., PY 2014-15 funds and before) must continue to follow the terms and conditions of those awards, including the cost principles required under the former OMB circulars. For information on allowable costs under the former OMB circulars, please refer to Workforce Investment Act Directive WIAD03-10. Prohibited Use of Funds Lobbying

Subrecipients that receive WIOA Title I funds must comply with the restrictions on political activities as specified in WIOA Section 195. This provision prohibits the use of WIOA Title I funds for publicity or propaganda purposes, or for materials designed to support or defeat the enactment of federal, state, or local legislation; proposed or pending regulation; administrative action; or order issued by the executive branch of any state or local government. This also includes prohibition of the use of Title I funds for activities designed to influence the enactment or issuance of legislation; appropriations; regulations; administrative action; or an Executive Order proposed or pending before Congress, any state government, state or local legislature, or legislative body. Marijuana Industry

Uniform Guidance Section 200.331 requires the state, as the pass-through entity, to advise subrecipients of imposed requirements by federal laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements, as well as additional requirements imposed by the state. Although California passed Proposition 64, in accordance with federal law (21 U.S.C 812), marijuana is classified as a Schedule 1 narcotic, and is therefore illegal from a federal standpoint. All grant agreements between the DOL and the state must follow all applicable federal statute, regulations, and policies. Therefore, in accordance with federal law, WIOA funds cannot be used to directly or indirectly support the marijuana industry including, but not limited to, use, possession, growth or distribution of marijuana. This applies to WIOA; Wagner-Peyser; Trade Adjustment Assistance; Veterans' Employment and Training Service; and National Dislocated Worker Grant programs and services including, but not limited to, training, employer outreach, hiring events, career counseling, job orders and referrals.

Prior Written Approval The Uniform Guidance includes administrative requirements and cost items that are allowable only with prior written approval from the federal awarding agency or pass through entity. Subrecipients should review the terms and conditions of their grant agreements to determine the appropriate authority to grant prior approval. As the pass-through entity of WIOA Title I funds, the EDD is responsible for granting prior approval in most cases. Under any given federal award, the reasonableness and allocability of certain cost items may be difficult to determine. In order to avoid subsequent disallowance or dispute, subrecipients should obtain prior written approval for the incurrence of special or unusual costs. The following matrix lists key sections of the Uniform Guidance that address when prior written approval is required.

Circumstance Section Use of grant agreements (including fixed amount awards), cooperative agreements, and contracts

§200.201,paragraph (b)(5)

Cost sharing or matching §200.306 Program income §200.307 Revision of budget and program plans §200.308 Real property §200.311 Equipment §200.313 Fixed amount sub awards §200.332 Direct costs §200.413, paragraph (c) Compensation—personal services §200.430, paragraph (h) Compensation—fringe benefits §200.431 Entertainment costs §200.438 Equipment and other capital expenditures §200.439 Exchange rates §200.440 Fines, penalties, damages and other settlements §200.441 Fund raising and investment management costs §200.442 Goods or services for personal use §200.445 Insurance and indemnification §200.447 Memberships, subscriptions, and professional activity costs §200.454, paragraph (c) Organization costs §200.455 Participant support costs §200.456 Pre-award costs §200.458 Rearrangement and reconversion costs §200.462 Selling and marketing costs §200.467 Taxes (including Value Added Tax) §200.470 Travel costs §200.474

Subrecipients should thoroughly review the Uniform Guidance sections referenced above to determine when prior written approval must be obtained, and assess if their specific

of 6

circumstance(s) require prior approval. As indicated in DOL Exception Section 2900.407, inclusion of item(s) in the statement of work or budget when awarded does not constitute prior approval; subrecipients must still follow all applicable policies and procedures outlined in this directive. Property procurements with a unit acquisition cost of $5,000 or more must have prior written approval. A non-property related purchase or circumstance that fits into one of the above referenced categories may still require prior written approval, regardless of the dollar amount. Prior Written Approval Procedures

Subrecipients must complete and submit the Prior Written Approval Request (Attachment 2), along with all necessary supporting documentation, to their assigned Regional Advisor no less than 30 days before the requested action is to occur. The EDD will consider the following factors in its review of the requests:

• Is this purchase necessary and reasonable? • Have the best products been selected? • What other costs are associated with the purchase? • If applicable, what procurement method will be used? • If applicable, was a lease option considered in lieu of the purchase?

The Prior Written Approval Request and supporting documentation can be submitted to the assigned Regional Advisor electronically or through one of the methods listed below:

Mail ATTN: (Name of Regional Advisor) Workforce Service Division, MIC 50 Employment Development Department P.O. Box 826880 Sacramento, CA 94280-0001

Courier Service/ ATTN: (Name of Regional Advisor) Overnight Mail Workforce Services Division, MIC 50

Employment Development Department 722 Capitol Mall Sacramento, CA 95814

Subrecipients will receive a formal notification from their assigned Regional Advisor providing approval or denial of their request. Written approval must be received prior to the cost being incurred. Approval is based on the supplied justification and supporting documentation for the proposed expenditure. If the actual expenditure is not in accordance with the justification or Uniform

33

of 6

Guidance requirements, the expenditure can still be questioned or disallowed. Factors affecting this include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Inadequate justification. • Failure to follow internal, state, or federal policies. • Expenditure is not necessary or reasonable. • Failure to comply with applicable federal law or regulations.

Documentation

Supporting documentation must be retained for all costs associated with a prior approval request. The documentation must establish that the expenditure meets the following criteria:

• Meets the cost principles (is necessary and reasonable for proper and efficient performance and administration of the grant).

• Is allocable to the grant based upon the benefits received. • Is authorized or not prohibited under state or local laws and regulations. • Conforms to any limitations or exclusions of cost item types or amounts, as set forth in

the Uniform Guidance, federal law, federal award, or other governing regulations. • Is consistent with applicable policies, regulations, and procedures.

ACTION

Please bring this directive to the attention of all appropriate staff and subrecipients.

CalJOBSSM CASH REQUEST

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This policy provides the guidance and establishes the procedures regarding drawing down cash to pay for expenditures incurred against a subgrant. This policy applies to all Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) subrecipients who have a subaward in the form of a subgrant, and is effective on the date of issuance. This policy contains no state-imposed requirements. This directive finalizes Workforce Services Draft Directive Cash Request (WSDD-162), issued for comment on February 9, 2017. The Workforce Development Community submitted no comments during the draft comment period. This policy supersedes Workforce Services Directive CalJOBS Cash Request Handbook (WSD15-05), dated November 3, 2015. Retain this directive until further notice. REFERENCES

• Title 2 CFR Part 2900: “Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards” (Department of Labor [DOL] Exceptions)

• Cash Draw User Guide, Version 16.3, Chapter 10: “My Cash Requests” (Subgrantee Staff)

BACKGROUND

When a subrecipient of WIOA funds incurs expenditures against a subgrant, those costs need to be reimbursed. The subrecipient must complete a cash request in the CalJOBS Cash Draw module in order to receive funds.

35

of 4


Only subrecipient staff with cash privileges will be able to create and/or edit cash requests. Cash and expenditure privileges are established based on the User Registration Form (URF) that is sent out with the subrecipient’s initial subgrant package. If any changes are need to be made to a completed URF, please email the changes to [email protected]. How to Request Cash Cash requests must be submitted by 2:00 p.m. for same day processing (the Earliest Processing Date). If the cash request is not completed by 2:00 p.m., the request will be processed the following business day. The Earliest Delivery Date is 2 business days after the Earliest Processing Date. An Alternate Delivery Date can be selected if the cash needs to be delivered on another date, but the Alternate Delivery Date cannot be prior to the Earliest Delivery Date (2 business days). Follow the procedures below to submit a new cash request in CalJOBS:

1. After logging into the CalJOBS system, select “My Cash Requests” under the “Services for Subgrantee Staff” heading on the left hand side of the screen.

2. Select “Add.” 3. Select the check boxes next to the grant codes that you would like to request cash for

and select “Next” (you may select check boxes for multiple grant codes at this time). 4. Select “View” in the Action column for the grant code that you would like to request

cash for. 5. Enter the “Amount Requested.” The “Amount Requested” should be the amount that

you are requesting during this cash request transaction. 6. Enter the “Total Amount Disbursed” (Please see the section below on Excess Cash. Cash

on hand should be limited to the amount needed for immediate disbursement). How to Amend a Cash Request If a completed cash request needs to be revised and it is still before the 2 p.m. deadline, select “View” instead of “Add.” Selecting the “Add” button, will initiate a new cash request for the next available processing and delivery date. Follow the procedures below to revise or edit a cash request before the 2:00 p.m. cut off:

1. After logging into the CalJOBS system, select “My Cash Requests” under the “Services for Subgrantee Staff” heading on the left hand side of the screen.

2. Select “View” next to the cash request that needs to be revised. 3. Follow steps 3-6 above.

Negative Cash Requests It is sometimes necessary to return cash for a grant. This can be done through the CalJOBS Cash Draw module. However, the total of all cash requests for a day must be equal to or greater than $0.00:

• In order to process a negative cash entry, subrecipients must enter a positive cash request first and then enter the negative request last. Make sure that the total of all requests never goes below $0.00.

• If an error message displays when creating cash adjustment entries, review calculations and make corrections until the total cash request is equal to or greater than $0.00.

Excess Cash The DOL and the EDD define excess cash as any amount that is not disbursed within three to four working days after receipt. Excess cash is automatically calculated in CalJOBS. The system subtracts four days of expenditures from the amount of total requests minus expenditures to determine excess cash. Failure to update the Total Cash Disbursed field will cause excess cash. Cash requests may be denied when excess cash is shown in the CalJOBS Cash Request Approval reports. Cash Hold A cash hold will be imposed if a subrecipient fails to comply with other subgrant requirements, such as expenditure reporting or closeout requirements. While a cash hold is in place, the subrecipient will not be able to request cash. When the subrecipient is back in compliance with the subgrant requirements, then the cash hold will be lifted. Cash Delivery Methods The EDD offers subrecipients a choice of three methods for receiving cash: direct deposit, mailed check, or check pick up. A subrecipient chooses their preferred delivery method on the URF that is sent out with their initial subgrant package. The EDD will keep the most recent cash delivery instructions on file for each subrecipient. To change the delivery method for your office, submit a new URF to the EDD showing the new preferred method. Method 1 – Direct deposit to a bank account

• The EDD will make a wire transfer to a specified bank account. • The organization must provide the bank routing number and bank account number on

the URF. • Bank account information will be kept secure.

37

of 4

• Transfers will settle to the specified account on the delivery date shown in CalJOBS. • Notify the EDD promptly if your organization changes banks or bank accounts. Please

use the URF to submit the change in writing. Method 2 – Deliver check using U.S. Postal Service

• The EDD will mail a check to the address specified on the URF. • The check will be mailed through the U.S. Postal Service on the delivery date shown in

CalJOBS. • Notify the EDD promptly if there is a change to your mailing address. Use the URF to

submit the change in writing. Method 3 – Check Pick up at the EDD

• The EDD will prepare a check for pick up by the subrecipient’s staff. • Because of security requirements in the EDD Central Office, you must make special

arrangements for each check pick up by calling the Cash Help Desk at 916-654-7868.

ACTION

SELECTIVE SERVICE REGISTRATION

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This policy provides the guidance and establishes the procedures regarding Selective Service registration requirements for participation in Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title I funded services. This policy applies to all subrecipients or contractors funded or authorized by WIOA Title I, and is effective on the date of issuance. This policy contains some state-imposed requirements. All state-imposed requirements are indicated by bold, italic type. This directive finalizes Workforce Services Draft Directive Selective Service Registration (WSDD-159), issued for comment on December 28, 2016. The Workforce Development Community submitted four comments during the draft comment period. A summary of comments, including all changes, is provided as Attachment 2. This policy supersedes Workforce Services Directive Selective Service Registration (WSD15-06), dated November 3, 2015. Retain this directive until further notice.

BACKGROUND

Males who are subject to the registration requirements of the Military Selective Service Act must have complied with these requirements to be eligible for participation in WIOA funded programs and services. Under WIOA Section 189(h), the U.S. Secretary of Labor is required to ensure that each individual participating in a WIOA program, or receiving any assistance under

39

of 6

WIOA Title I, has not violated Section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act. This section requires that every male residing in the United States (citizen or non-citizen) must register with Selective Service between their 18th and 26th birthday. This guidance is being reissued to clarify acceptable forms of documentation when determining whether an individual’s failure to register with the Selective Service was knowing and willful.


All programs and services established or receiving assistance under WIOA Title I must comply with the Selective Service registration requirements. These requirements apply to both formula and discretionary grants awarded by the Department of Labor (DOL). They do not apply to programs funded or solely authorized by the Wagner-Peyser Act. Selective Service Registration Requirements Males born on or after January 1, 1960, are required to register with the Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday and up to, but not including, their 26th birthday. This includes the following males:

• U.S. citizens. • Veterans discharged before their 26th birthday. • Non-U.S. citizens, including undocumented immigrants, legal permanent residents, and

refugees, who take up residency in the U.S. prior to their 26th birthday. • Dual nationals of the U.S. and another country, regardless of whether they live in the

U.S. Selective Service registration is not required for the following male U.S. citizens:

• Males who are serving in the military on full-time active duty. • Males attending the service academies. • Disabled males who were continually limited to a residence, hospital, or institution. • Males who are hospitalized, institutionalized, or incarcerated are not required to

register during their confinement. However, they must register within 30 days after being released if they have not yet reached their 26th birthday.

• Male veterans discharged after their 26th birthday. Selective Service registration is not required for the following male non-U.S. citizens:

• Non-U.S. males who entered the U.S. for the first time after their 26th birthday. Acceptable forms of supporting documentation include the following:

o Date of entry stamp in passport. o I-94 with date of entry stamp on it.

40

of 6

o Letter from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services indicating the date the male entered the U.S. presented in conjunction with documentation establishing the male’s age.

• Non-U.S. males who entered the U.S. illegally after their 26th birthday. They must provide proof that they were not living in the U.S. from age 18 through 25.

• Non-U.S. males on a valid non-immigrant visa. *Note that the requirement for transsexual, transgendered, and intersex individuals to register with the Selective Service depends upon the gender recorded on their birth certificate. According to the Selective Service website, “Individuals who are born female and have a gender change are not required to register. U.S. citizens or immigrants who are born male and have a gender change are still required to register.”

The above list of Selective Service registration requirements is not exhaustive. Additional information regarding these requirements, including a Quick Reference Chart showing who must register, can be found on the Selective Service website. Acceptable Documentation In order to be eligible to receive WIOA-funded services, all males born on or after January 1, 1960, must present documentation showing compliance with the Selective Service registration requirements. Acceptable documentation to determine a person’s eligibility for WIOA Title I programs includes the following:

• Selective Service acknowledgement letter. • Report of Separation form (Form DD-214). Should be used only if veteran was

discharged after his 26th birthday. • Screen printout of the Selective Service Verification site. For males who already

registered, this website can be used to confirm their Selective Service number as well as the date of registration, by entering a last name, social security number, and date of birth.

• Selective Service registration card. • Selective Service verification form (Form 3A). • Stamped post office receipt of registration.

Registration Requirements for Males Under 26 Before being enrolled in WIOA-funded services, all males who are not registered with the Selective Service and have not reached their 26th birthday must register through the Selective Service website. If a male turns 18 while participating in WIOA-funded services, registration with Selective Service must be completed no later than 30 days after he becomes 18 in order to

41

continue to receive WIOA-funded services. If a male under the age of 26 refuses to register with Selective Service, WIOA-funded services must be suspended until he registers. Non-Registration by Males 26 and Older Subrecipients or contractors who receive WIOA Title I funding must establish a policy for those potential participants who are 26 or older that failed to register with the Selective Service. This policy may either request a Status Information Letter from a potential participant before making a determination of knowing and willful failure to register, or initiate the process to determine if the potential participant’s failure was knowing and willful without first requesting a Status Information Letter. Before enrolling in WIOA-funded services, all males 26 and older must provide one of the following:

• Documentation showing they were not required to register. • If they were required to register, documentation establishing that their failure to

register was not knowing or willful. Status Information Letter An individual may obtain a Status Information Letter from the Selective Service if one of the following applies:

• The individual believes he was not required to register. • The individual did register but cannot provide the appropriate documentation.

The Status Information Letter Request form and instructions can be accessed through the Selective Service website. If an individual decides to request a Status Information Letter, they will need to describe, in detail, the circumstances that prevented him from registering (e.g., hospitalization, incarceration, or military service) and provide documentation of those circumstances. The documentation should be specific as to the dates of the circumstances. If the Status Information Letter indicates that an individual was not required to register for the Selective Service, then he is eligible to enroll in a WIOA-funded service. If the Status Information Letter indicates that the individual was required to register and did not register, he is presumed to be disqualified from participation in WIOA-funded activities and services until it can be determined that his failure to register was not knowing and willful. All costs associated with grant-funded services provided to non-eligible individuals may be disallowed. How to Determine “Knowing and Willful” Failure to Register If the individual was required but failed to register with the Selective Service, as determined by the Status Information Letter or by his own acknowledgement, the individual may only receive services if he establishes that the failure to register was not knowing and willful. The

subrecipient or contractor that enrolls individuals in WIOA-funded activities, and is thereby authorized to approve the use of WIOA grant funds, is the entity responsible for evaluating the evidence presented by the individual and determining whether the failure to register was knowing and willful. Documentation Evidence presented may include the individual’s written explanation and supporting documentation of his circumstances at the time of the required registration and the reason(s) for failure to register. The individual should be encouraged to offer as much evidence and in as much detail as possible to support his case. The following are examples of documentation that may be of assistance in making a determination in these cases:

• Service in the Armed Forces – Evidence that a male has served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces, such as a Form DD-214 or his Honorable Discharge Certificate. These documents serve as evidence that his failure to register was not knowing and willful.

• Third Party Affidavits – Affidavits concerning reasons for not registering from parents, teachers, employers, doctors, and others may help subrecipients or contractors in making a determination regarding willful and knowing failure to register.

• Self-Attestation – Signed statement that explains why the individual’s failure to register was not knowing and willful.

*Please note, self-attestation may serve as sufficient evidence when other options of documentation or third party corroboration are not available. For a self-attestation statement template please see Attachment 1 of this directive.

Model Questions In order to establish consistency regarding the implementation of the requirement, subrecipients or contractors should use the following questions as a model for determining whether a failure to register is knowing and willful. To determine whether the failure was “knowing,” authorized organizations should ask the following:

• Was the individual aware of the requirement to register? • If the individual knew about the requirement to register, was he misinformed about the

applicability of the requirement to him (e.g., veterans who were discharged before their 26th birthday were occasionally told that they did not need to register)?

• On which date did the individual first learn that he was required to register? • Where did the individual live when he was between the ages of 18 and 26? • Does the status information letter indicate that Selective Service sent letters to the

individual at that address and did not receive a response?

43

of 6

To determine whether the failure was “willful,” authorized organizations should ask the following:

• Was the failure to register done deliberately and intentionally? • Did the individual have the mental capacity to choose whether to register and decided

not to register? • What actions, if any, did the individual take when he learned of the requirement to

register? Results of Findings If an authorized organization determines that an individual’s failure to register with the Selective Service was not knowing and willful and the individual is otherwise eligible, services may be provided. However, if the authorized organization determines that evidence shows that the individual’s failure to register was knowing and willful, WIOA services must be denied. Individuals who are denied services must be advised of available grievance procedures. Authorized organizations must keep documentation related to evidence presented in determinations on Selective Service.

ACTION

Please bring this directive to the attention of all relevant parties.

RFA – WORKFORCE NAVIGATOR PILOT PROGRAM FOR ELL AND IMMIGRANT WORKERS

The California Workforce Development Board (State Board), in conjunction with the Employment Development Department, and the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency, are pleased to announce a Request for Application (RFA) that makes available up to $1.5 million of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title I Governor’s Discretionary funds to develop and implement a Workforce Navigator Pilot Program targeting English Language Learners (ELL) and Immigrant workers.

The goal of this initiative is to promote increased access, create/enhance program structure and availability, and provide supportive services within the workforce system for California’s ELL Population. Entities selected are expected to work in collaboration with community-based organizations (e.g., faith based organizations, public and private non-profit and for-profit organizations, education and training providers, etc.) and other workforce partners, including adult education entities. Funding will be for 18 months, with the goal of providing additional funding contingent upon future Congressional appropriation.

In addition to the implementation project, the state will invest additional funds to provide technical assistance. However, this assistance will require third-party evaluation, which will be acquired separately from this RFA.

Eligible applicants are Local Workforce Development Areas. Individuals are not eligible to apply. However, we encourage partnerships with community-based organizations. Proposal applications must be received no later than March 24, 2017, before 3 p.m. PST. For more information on WIOA grants and application requirements, please refer to the RFA notice on the State Board Initiatives web page. /S/ JAIME L.

HVRP – 2017 FUNDING OPPORTUNITY

The Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service has announced the availability of $12 million to fund at least 24 Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program (HVRP) projects up to $500,000 each, to operate from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. These projects will address the employment challenges faced by homeless veterans (including homeless female veterans and homeless veterans with families), incarcerated veterans, and recently-incarcerated veterans who are at risk of homelessness, by designing and implementing programs that expedite the reintegration of the targeted veterans into the labor force through job training, counseling, job placement and support services (e.g., clothing; provision of or referral to temporary, transitional and permanent housing; referral medical and substance abuse treatment; transportation assistance). Applicants must demonstrate a clear need for the HVRP in the local area and the ability to develop and execute strategies with attainable goals for job-driven training; to collaborate and coordinate with organizations to ensure that local, state and federal resources are used effectively and efficiently; to deliver needed job training and services to the targeted veterans or otherwise connect them with needed job training and services; to provide services tailored to the needs of female homeless veterans and homeless veterans with families; and to provide services tailored to the needs of incarcerated or recently incarcerated veterans who are at risk of homelessness. Applications will be accepted from virtually all entities, specifically including state and Local Workforce Development Boards, state and local governments (including special districts), regional organizations, tribal governments (both federally-recognized and not-federally-recognized), tribally-designated organizations, public and private institutions of higher education, non-profits, and for-profit/commercial entities. Applications must be submitted to VETS by March 31, 2017. The number of this funding opportunity is FOA-VETS-17-01. /S/ JAIME L. GUTIERREZ, Chief Central Office Workforce Services Division

BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT – DATA TOOLS

In October 2016, the California Workforce Development Board (State Board) finalized an agreement with Dun and Bradstreet (DNB) to provide actionable business engagement data to the Local Workforce Development Areas (Local Area) and the Employment Development Department (EDD). The business data is provided by DNB and is accessible through EconoVue, a data integration tool developed and maintained by Urban Explorer, Inc. Communication is encouraged among Local Workforce Development Board staff and the EDD Labor Market Information Division regional consultants to maximize the use of this data. This tool is to be used exclusively to deliver Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act business solutions in support of local and regional plans. It is not to be used for the purpose of business attraction activities associated with economic development. A maximum of five EconoVue licenses were provided to each Local Area and provide a continuous flow of business level data to support a pro-active, comprehensive business engagement strategy. As part of the implementation, 14 training sessions were held to familiarize local licensees with the tool and its application to business engagement efforts. In addition to the EconoVue licenses, the agreement also included the purchase of Market Insight for select Labor Market Information (LMI) consultants and a Local Area representative in each of the 14 regional planning units. Market Insight is an innovative web-based data analysis and visualization tool that allows users to better understand business customers and identify engagement opportunities. Attached is a list of the local and regional licensees for Market Insight and EconoVue. If you have additional LMI questions or data needs, please contact your local LMI Consultant. Local Area staff and partners are encouraged to use the CalJOBSSM Customer Relations Management (CRM) module tool to document all local business engagement activities. The CRM eliminates duplicate contacts from workforce system partners to regional businesses, and serves as the basis for federal reporting requirements. Information on the CRM was communicated in Workforce Services Information Notice WSIN15-21. For additional information, contact Daniel Patterson at [email protected] or 916-657-1446. /S/ JAIME L.

PRE-APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS ON THE ETPL The California Employment Development Department and the California Workforce Development Board have collaboratively classified two types of pre-apprenticeship programs, pre-apprenticeship career services and pre-apprenticeship training, to assist Local Workforce Development Areas in determining which pre-apprenticeship programs can be listed on the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL). Pre-apprenticeship is defined in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Final Rule Section 681.480 as the following: “A program designed to prepare individuals to enter and succeed in an apprenticeship program registered under the Act of August 16, 1937 (commonly known as the ‘‘National Apprenticeship Act’’; 50 Stat. 664, chapter 663; 29 U.S.C. 50 et. seq.,) (referred to in this part as a ‘‘registered apprenticeship’’ or ‘‘registered apprenticeship program’’) and includes the following elements:

(a) Training and curriculum that aligns with the skill needs of employers in the economy of the State or region involved; (b) Access to educational and career counseling and other supportive services, directly or indirectly; (c) Hands-on, meaningful learning activities that are connected to education and training activities, such as exploring career options, and understanding how the skills acquired through coursework can be applied toward a future career; (d) Opportunities to attain at least one industry-recognized credential; and (e) A partnership with one or more registered apprenticeship programs that assists in placing individuals who complete the pre-apprenticeship program in a registered apprenticeship program.”

Excluded from the ETPL – Pre-Apprenticeship Career Services Programs Career services are categorized in WIOA Final Rule Section 678.430 as basic career services, individualized career services, and follow-up services, which provide introduction to an industry sector, work readiness skills, and academic instruction to prepare individuals for entry into an apprenticeship program. These types of career services that are offered by a pre-apprenticeship program cannot be listed on the ETPL. To identify a pre-apprenticeship career services programs in CalJOBSSM, the “Service description” program profile must state “Pre-apprenticeship career services.”

To enroll participants into a pre-apprenticeship career services program, use activity code 224. Included on the ETPL – Pre-Apprenticeship Training Programs A pre-apprenticeship training program must have an affiliation with a Joint Apprenticeship Training Council (JATC), meet the definition of occupational skills training, and lead to an industry-recognized certificate, credential, or license upon completion. This type of pre-apprenticeship training program can be listed on the ETPL. In addition, the pre-apprenticeship training programs must be identified correctly in CalJOBS by completing one of the following:

• “Service description” in CalJOBS program profile must state whether the program leads to an industry-recognized certificate, credential, or license upon completion.

• “This program of study leads to” option in CalJOBS program profile must be set to one of the following:

o An industry-recognized certificate or certification o A license recognized by the state involved or the federal government

To enroll participants into a pre-apprenticeship training program, use the following activity codes:

• Activity Code 307, for adult and dislocated workers • Activity Code 437, for youth

REVISED AMENDMENT OF PY 16-17 RR FUNDING

Program Year (PY) 2016-17 round two Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Rapid Response (RR) and Layoff Aversion (LOA) funds for each Local Workforce Development Area (Local Area) were released in October with a .41903 percent rescission. However, the Department of Labor (DOL) released Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 17-15, Change 2 on March 8, 2017, amending the rescission to a .1901 reduction, providing the state with additional funding. The Dislocated Worker RR funding California received was amended to $42,342,981 for PY 16-17. State policy sets the formula allocation methodology at 50 percent of the RR funds being allocated to the Local Areas and the other 50 percent of the RR funds being set aside for the Additional Assistance account. Local Areas experiencing a significant increase in unemployment in their areas caused by plant closures, downsizing, natural disasters, or “other events” may apply for Additional Assistance funds. See attachment for specific funding detail reflecting the funding revision referenced above. Please note that these allocations include both the formula RR funding, along with separate allocations for LOA. This is consistent with the policy detailed in Rapid Response and Layoff Aversion Activities (WSD16-04), published on July 22, 2016. This notice supersedes WSIN16-22. Use of Rapid Response and Layoff Aversion Funds These funds can only be used towards the cost of required and allowable RR activities in response to layoffs, business closures, and natural disasters. Only expenditures for activities described in Sections 3(51) and 134(a)(2)(A) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) will be reimbursed under the formula RR grant codes. Other activities not described in these sections must be paid with other funds. As referenced in WSD16-04, baseline, layoff-based, and hold-harmless RR funds will continue to be issued to each Local Area in their subgrant, as grant codes 540 and 541. These formula RR funds may be spent on the wide range of required and/or allowable activities. Local Areas shall continue to report Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) participant enrollments funded with RR formula funds, under grant code 2274. LOA funding will be issued under grant codes 292 and 293 in each Local Area’s subgrant. These funds are to be spent exclusively on LOA activities, which includes IWT.

Participants receiving Additional Assistance services must be enrolled in grant code 241. Funds used for training services when serving Additional Assistance participants qualify as “leveraged resources,” which will assist Local Areas in meeting the training expenditure requirement as described in WIA Training Expenditure Requirements (WSD14-1). PY 2016-17 RR and LOA Funds The state has decided to allow Local Areas to carry forward any unspent PY 2016-17 RR and LOA funds, and will extend the term end dates for those funds to June 30, 2018. Due to anticipated funding reductions for PY 2017-18, the state will not reduce the Local Areas’ PY 2017-18 RR and LOA allocations by their PY 2016-17 carry forward amounts. Although the state is extending PY 2016-17 RR and LOA funds for an additional year, this will not be a continued practice and unexpended RR and LOA funds may be de-obligated after the first year.

If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact your assigned Regional Advisor. /S/ JAIME L.

BEST PRACTICES AND MODEL PARTNERSHIPS FOR SERVING OSY The California Workforce Development Board (State Board) and state level partners are developing a series of policy briefs intended to provide Local Workforce Development Boards and their local and regional planning partners with useful information on best practices and model partnerships. These policy briefs may be useful for local and regional plan development and will address a number of policy matters, including suggested ways to serve populations with barriers to employment and to implement policies emphasized in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) State Unified Strategic Workforce Development Plan. The purpose of this brief is to highlight initiatives, best practices, and coordination efforts in California and throughout the U.S. that have demonstrated success in improving training and employment outcomes for out-of-school youth (OSY) with barriers to quality employment. The policy brief was developed by the State Board in partnership with the California Department of Social Services and the California Department of Education. This brief includes the following information:

• A synopsis of the characteristics and societal impact of OSY and the challenges of serving this population.

• An overview of best practices gleaned from current research on OSY service strategies and descriptions of several model programs.

• A menu of resources. This policy brief and future briefs can be found by visiting the State Board's Policy Briefs webpage. For questions regarding this brief, please contact Myke Griseta at [email protected] or 916-654-9231. /S/ JAIME L. GUTIERREZ, Chief Central Office Workforce Services Division

ETPL – SUBSEQUENT ELIGIBILITY REVIEW 2017

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires the Governor to establish procedures to assess all programs on the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) for continued eligibility, with the exception of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS)/Department of Labor (DOL) approved apprenticeship programs. According to the WIOA Final Rules, Eligibility criteria must require that providers submit performance and cost information as described in paragraph (g) of this section and in the Governor’s procedure for each program of training services for which the provider has been determined to be eligible, in a timeframe and manner determined by the State, but at least every 2 years (WIOA DOL Final Rule Section 680.460 [h] [1]). In view of the requirements above and the recent changes to the Bureau of Private Post-Secondary Education’s (BPPE) reporting requirements, the Employment Development Department (EDD) in collaboration with the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) have established the following procedures for subsequent eligibility reviews to be performed in Calendar Years 2017 and 2018:

• Subsequent Eligibility Review in 2017 will be conducted by the Local Workforce Development Areas (Local Areas). The Local Areas will need to ensure the following for each program approved by them and listed on the ETPL:

o All ETPL providers maintain the appropriate approval criteria (BPPE, WASC, CCCO, etc.) for continued eligibility.

o All program information (cost information, description, locations etc.) has been updated and entered correctly in CalJOBSSM.

o Programs that do not meet the Local Area/State criteria must be placed in an inactive status and notification to the provider(s) of this determination must follow.

• Subsequent eligibility review in 2018 will be conducted by the Local Areas as described in Workforce Services Directive WSD15-07 and reviewed by the EDD to ensure the following:

o All ETPL providers maintain the appropriate approval criteria (BPPE, WASC, CCCO, etc.) for continued eligibility.

o All performance information has been updated and entered correctly in CalJOBS, and performance meets the minimum state requirement.

As noted earlier, the BPPE will not report placement rates for Calendar Year 2015. Therefore, Local Areas will not need to look at a program’s placement rates as part of the subsequent eligibility review. However, Local Areas do need to ensure that all providers/programs on the ETPL have met the other criteria (approval from BPPE, WASC, CCCO, etc.) for continued eligibility and record any available performance information in CalJOBS. Those programs not meeting the appropriate approval criteria need to be inactivated. Additional information related to the subsequent eligibility review will be provided in the upcoming revision of the ETPL Directive, including clarifications on the eligibility of pre-apprenticeship programs, secondary schools, and WIOA performance criteria. If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact us at [email protected]. /S/ JAIME L. GUTIERREZ, Chief Central Office Workforce Services Division
