The services are based on the needs of the targeted population covered by the NDWG, information provided by the WIOA local area where the event(s) occurred, and other relevant circumstances. NDWG funds are generally used for the following services:

(I) The WIOA local area shall maintain documentation as described in rule 5101:9-9-21 of the Administrative Code. This documentation may be subject to inspection, monitoring, and audit by the ODJFS office of fiscal and monitoring services (OFMS) and the Ohio auditor of state (AOS).
