Missing Profit Provision
Failure to Identify Subrecipient
• Programmatic Administration Lack of / Incorrect Policy
Missing Documentation
Failure to Meet Work Experience Expenditure Requirement
• Local Workforce Development Board Review Violation of Bylaws

How often do repeat findings occur?
• Within the same area? Infrequently: One LWDA in the last three years has had the exact same finding two years in a row
• Case File findings is where it happens the most.
‒ For example, an LWDA may receive a finding two years in a row for missing or incomplete Grievance Forms.
However, different sets of samples were selected in each of those years.
• Across multiple areas? More common
• Can be the result of increased scrutiny on a particular testing area
• Sometimes occurs as a result of a lack of guidance or imposition of new process

LWDA UI Claims by Month
March April May June July
Seeking Reemployment Services
Initially
• Not seeking; employees and
employer believed layoffs were
temporary
• March – June employers were
posting fewer job opportunities
Now
• Layoffs are becoming permanent
• People are choosing not to go back to work once recalled
– Safety concerns
– Unemployment benefits
• Job Postings are picking upas businesses are recalling and employees are refusing to return
Seeking Re-Training Services
Initially
• Not seeking; employees and employer believed layoffs were temporary
– Despite the extension of UI benefits to support them for those (up to) 6 months
• Occupational training opportunities were challenged due to stay-at-home orders
• On-the-job training affected by the temporary closures of businesses
Now
• Employees are beginning to
consider this option but with
less financial UI support to
rely on; DWG may be an
option to close this gap
• Extended UI enhancements
may provide increased
opportunities for displaced
workers
Dislocated Workers
• Will need to learn new skills
• Obtain new credentials
• Need for increased opportunities for OJT and customized training
• Explore remote on-the-job training
Employers
• Adapting existing jobs, business models and processes
• Presents an increased opportunities for OJT and customized training
Workforce System
• Creating online opportunities for enrollment and services
