The State of Missouri received approval for a waiver of the WIOA Out-of-School (OSY) expenditure requirement for program year 21 (PY 21). Local WDBs have the opportunity to request this waiver to reduce their OSY expenditure requirement from 75% to 50% for the applicable program year. Part of the waiver lifecycle requires states to estimate and regularly assess performance and progress toward achieving state goals. 

This issuance provides guidance on the policy, procedure, and data reporting for the WIOA OSY expenditure waiver for PY 21 funds in the local workforce development areas.
