Performance Measurements and Statewide Activities under WIA
The following guidance was recently prepared in response to questions from the field on performance measurements for 15% State reserve activities:
Q. When a State uses 15% funds for Statewide activities are the outcomes included in the negotiated title 1 Subtitle B performance measurements?
A. If the activities funded with State 15% reserve funds involve the enrollment of individuals eligible for title 1 subtitle B services, (i.e. adult, dislocated workers, or youth activities), at the State or local level, the outcomes are included in the performance measurements. If the activities are not supporting services for eligible adults, dislocated workers or youth, the outcomes are not included in the negotiated performance measures. Examples of such exceptions include activities where:
- the activity is structured to provide services that are highly specialized, such as in a pilot or demonstration activity for which the State establishes separate, or its own specific goals not typically addressed in the adult, dislocated worker or youth activities, (e.g. the activities support incumbent worker training authorized under Section 134(a)(3)(A)(iv)(I), or a project for chemically dependent TANF recipients).
