Employment and Training Administration May 29, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Labor (Department) is seeking public comment on the following proposed performance measures: [ssquf] Reemployment Rate for all UI Eligible Individuals after the 2nd Quarter of Program Exit (a Core Measure); [ssquf] Reemployment Rate after the 2nd Quarter of Program Exit for Reemployment Service and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) Program participants (a Program Performance Measure); and [ssquf] Median Wage in the 2nd Quarter after Program Exit for RESEA Program Participants (a Program Performance Measure). These measures are designed to align with the common performance measures for other workforce programs authorized by WIOA and will assist ETA in overseeing states' performance related to reemployment of UI claimants. This notice also informs states of the Department's discontinuance of the UI Facilitate Reemployment Core Measure.

Title I of WIOA requires the U.S. Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to update and publish the LLSIL tables annually, for uses described in the law (including determining eligibility for youth). WIOA defines the term ``low income individual'' as one whose total family annual income does not exceed the higher level of the poverty line or 70 percent of the LLSIL. This issuance provides the Secretary's annual LLSIL for 2019 and references the current 2019 Health and Human Services ``Poverty Guidelines.''
