This Issuance provides guidance and procedures regarding nondiscrimination and equal opportunity procedures required under Section 188 of WIOA and 29 CFR 38. The Missouri Nondiscrimination Plan provides guidance and procedures for WIOA recipients to adhere to regarding all programs, services, and activities that receive WIOA Title I funds. This policy applies to all WIOA recipients.
This issuance establishes the Office of Workforce Development (OWD) data collection requirement to capture the cost per participant for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title I core program participants who receive training from an Eligible Training Provider (ETP). This policy requires the cost per participant to be captured for each ETP’s program funded through WIOA by requiring the use of the advanced fund tracking data collection methods available through Missouri’s statewide electronic case-management system (MoJobs).
This Issuance updates requirements for Office of Workforce Development (OWD) staff, staff of one-stop centers, Local Workforce Development Boards (WDB), and sub-recipients concerning coordination of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Title I (WIOA) with alternate sources of training funds
This Issuance provides state-imposed guidance and establishes procedures regarding the use of pseudo Social Security Numbers (SSNs) in the statewide case management system (MoJobs). A pseudo SSN is an unauthentic nine-digit number generated when an individual prefers not to provide their real SSN.
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.
The purpose of this policy is to establish and clarify Office of Workforce Development (OWD) guidance on requested changes to the statewide case-management system. This Issuance establishes acceptable types of change requests and shifts responsibility for data integrity from OWD's Customer Support unit (CSU) to the Local Workforce Development Boards (Local WDBs), their service providers, and all Job Center Staff.
