Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
WIOA requires all one-stop partners to contribute to infrastructure funding, which includes both facility and shared costs needed to maintain operation of the one-stop delivery system.
A. Contributions by required one-stop partners to the facility funding costs of a comprehensive workforce connection must be monetary.
B. Contributions by both required and other partners for shared costs may be in cash, or in a fairly evaluated in-kind contribution. However, said contributions must demonstrate the contribution impacts and benefits all partners and the overall one-stop delivery system.
C. Each local board is required to establish an MOU with each partner in that local area that includes how infrastructure funding will be allocated and contributed.
D. DWS is responsible for providing ongoing technical assistance and written guidance describing the required workforce system partners, example tables, and funding structures to aid in the overall planning and development of the infrastructure funding agreements (IFAs). DWS is also responsible for advocacy and communication with state partner organizations and agencies as needed to support local board negotiations.
E. If consensus cannot be reached when developing the IFA, local boards are required to notify DWS at least 60 days prior to the deadline set by DWS. DWS will then assume responsibility for reviewing negotiated costs and processes used to determine the IFA, providing further guidance to local boards and the partners. The funding mechanism imposed by DWS is a last resort effort. The local board and the required partners are required to continue to negotiate in good faith to avoid a funding mechanism imposed by DWS.
