DWD Issuance 16-2017: Disseminating Notices for Equal Opportunity Complaints and WIOA complaints and grievances

This Issuance updates, supersedes and rescinds previous guidance¹ identifying who must receive notification of the right to pursue complaints or grievances related to Equal Opportunity (EO) issues or programmatic delivery of programs and services. This Issuance identifies those persons from whom workforce staff must obtain and retain a signed acknowledgment of notification of those rights. It also incorporates changes in federal and State laws, regulations, and policies that have become effective since the previous guidance. At a future date, the final, adopted version of Missouri’s Nondiscrimination Plan ² (formerly known as the Methods of Administration) will incorporate the guidance in this Issuance.
