SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Ten states
(see Appendix) qualify to receive a
share of the $9.7 million available for
incentive grant awards under WIA
section 503. These funds, which were
contributed by the Department of
Education from appropriations for the
Adult Education and Family Literacy
Act, are available for the eligible states
to use through June 30, 2012, to support
innovative workforce development and
education activities that are authorized
under title IB (Workforce Investment
Systems) or title II (the Adult Education
and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA)) of
WIA, or under the Carl D. Perkins
Career and Technical Education Act of
2006 (Perkins IV), 20 U.S.C. 2301 et
seq., as amended by Public Law 109–
270. In order to qualify for a grant
award, a state must have exceeded its
performance levels for WIA title IB and
adult education (AEFLA). (Due to the
lack of availability of PY 2008
performance data under the Carl D.
Perkins Vocational and Technical
Education Act of 1998 (Perkins III), the
Department of Labor and the
Department of Education did not
consider states’ performance levels
under the Perkins Act in determining
incentive grants eligibility.) The goals
included employment after training and
related services, retention in
employment, and improvements in
literacy levels, among other measures.
After review of the performance data
submitted by states to the Department of
Labor and to the Department of
Education, each Department determined
for its program(s) which states exceeded
their performance levels (the Appendix
at the bottom of this notice lists the
eligibility of each state by program).
These lists were compared, and states
that exceeded their performance levels
for both programs are eligible to apply
for and receive an incentive grant
award. The amount that each state is
eligible to receive was determined by
the Department of Labor and the
Department of Education, based on the
provisions in WIA section 503(c) (20
U.S.C. 9273(c)), and is proportional to
the total funding received by these
states for WIA title IB and AEFLA
programs.
The states eligible to apply for
incentive grant awards and the amounts
they are eligible to receive are listed in
the following chart:

It is the
purpose of the Workforce Investment
Act of 1998 ‘‘to provide workforce
investment activities, through statewide
and local workforce investment systems,
that increase the employment, retention,
and earnings of participants, and
increase occupational skill attainment
by participants, and as a result, improve
the quality of the workforce, reduce
welfare dependency, and enhance the
productivity and competitiveness of the
Nation.’’
The LLSIL is used for several
purposes under WIA. Specifically, WIA
Section 101(25) defines the term ‘‘low
income individual’’ for eligibility
purposes, and Sections 127(b)(2)(C) and
132(b)(1)(B)(v)(IV) define the terms
