This Policy addresses the use of the annual 70 Percent LLSIL guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (DOLETA), and the annual Poverty Level guidelines issued by the Office of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of HHS. Employees may alternate using these two sets of income guidelines as circumstances require and in conjunction with the criteria in Section 3(36)1 of WIOA2 to determine low-income eligibility for WIOA Title I programs. In the past, the Office of Workforce Development (OWD) created a new Issuance twice a year to mark the release of these guidelines by the two federal agencies. Going forward, this Issuance will serve as guidance for applying income tests and updated numbers. OWD may make updates electronically in the Issuance table on jobs.mo.gov as soon as new guidance is available, without an accompanying Policy change. Persons subscribing to electronic alerts for new Policies will continue to receive notices when the OWD receives updated numbers.
