Objective
The purpose of the WIOA Dislocated Worker program is to provide career and training services to reemploy dislocated workers, improve the quality of the workforce, and enhance the productivity and competitiveness of the nation's economy by providing workforce investment activities that increase the employment and earnings of participants, and increase occupational skill attainment by the participants. This program is designed to increase employment, as measured by entry into unsubsidized employment and earnings. The program serves individuals and helps employers meet their workforce needs. The employment goals will be measured using Unemployment Insurance Wage Records Systems.
Type of Assistance
A - Formula Grants
Applicant Eligibility
Under WIA, the organizations eligible to receive formula-based funding from the Department are the 50 states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and the outlying areas. Funds are allotted based on a statutory formula and states in turn allocate funds to local workforce development boards who are responsible for operating American Job Centers (approximately 2,500 nationwide).
Beneficiary Eligibility
Individuals eligible for assistance include workers who have lost their jobs, including those dislocated as a result of plant closings or mass layoffs, and are unlikely to return to their previous industry or occupation; formerly self-employed individuals; and displaced homemakers who have been dependent on income of another family member, but are no longer supported by that income. Additionally, separating service members and military spouses may qualify as dislocated workers. Priority of Service is given to veterans and other covered persons.
