Section 11.2.8.16 - CO-ENROLLMENT AND COORDINATED SERVICE DELIVERY

WIOA provides a significant opportunity for coordination across all of the core programs, and any coordination or co-enrollment activities must adhere to the service delivery provisions of federal regulations, Sections 20 CFR 651, 652, 653, 358, and 680.

A.Coordination between adult dislocated worker and youth programs. Individuals aged 18-24 may be eligible for both the WIOA youth and adult programs and can be co-enrolled in the two programs.

B.Coordination with Wagner-Peyser employment services. Universal access to basic career services must be achieved through close integration of Wagoner-Peyser, WIOA programs, and other partners in the New Mexico workforce connection centers. Basic career services offered by the WIOA programs must be made available by the Wagoner-Peyser program in coordination with other workforce connection center partners.

C.Coordination with adult education. Individuals who meet the respective program eligibility requirements for WIOA youth Title I and Title II may participate in Title I and Title II concurrently. WIOA Sections 134(c)(2) authorizes career services to be provided with Title I adult and dislocated worker funds.

D.Coordination with vocational rehabilitation. Individuals with disabilities are identified as individuals with barriers to employment under WIOA, and should be able to access all workforce connection center services. Funds allocated to a local area for adult and dislocated worker activities may be used to improve coordination between employment and training programs carried out in the local area for individuals with disabilities through the workforce connection centers.

E.Coordination with trade adjustment assistance (TAA). TAA eligible workers can be co-enrolled with the WIOA dislocated worker or adult programs to allow for the timely provision of individualized services through the workforce connection center network. The Trade Act, as amended, contains provisions allowing the costs of a training program approved under the Trade Adjustment Act to be paid by TAA funds or from other sources, but does not allow duplication of payment in training costs. Those authorities and restrictions are governed by Section 20 CFR 617.25(b).
