Although co-enrollment in WIOA Dislocated Worker is now required under the TAA Final Rule, this wasn't always the case. Many states had already implemented policies embracing co-enrollment. Illinois' initial efforts on co-enrollment were implemented back in October of 2005, with co-enrollment becoming mandatory in December of 2010.

West Virginia’s Acting Commissioner for Workforce West Virginia mandated co-enrollment for TAA participants into the WIA program in 2011. Mandated co-enrollment continued under the WIOA program in 2015. The Acting Commissioner’s primary objective is the timely delivery and integration of career and/or individual services and to promote a seamless delivery of these services to all dislocated workers.

A little heavier than most of our blogs, this one will bring you through the ins and outs of obligating and de-obligating training funds under the TAA Program. There's also a discussion of accrued expenditures. Remember, they got to Capone through his bookkeeper...

The Department has advocated for co-enrollment between the TAA Program and Dislocated Worker program since the Economic Dislocation and Worker Adjustment Assistance Act amended Title III of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) in 1989. The TAA Final Rule, effective September 21, 2020, now makes co-enrollment mandatory.

On June 3, 2021, the Employment and Training Administration published the Operating Instructions for TAA Program under Reversion 2021 via TEGL No. 24-20. Without Congressional action (which seems increasingly unlikely), on July 1, 2021, the TAA Program will revert to a modified version of the Trade Reform Act of 2002. Any workers covered under a Petition for Trade Adjustment Assistance filed on or after July 1, 2021, will be covered by this modified version.

Somebody knows something about everything. You don't always need to know the answer, just where to find it and who might be able to help you with it. Partner referrals are a necessary tool to serve workers under the TAA Program. The team from Virginia provides their insights on the subject.

Finding information on layoffs and shifts in production is not as straightforward as one might hope. Companies often downplay layoffs in one area while highlighting job growth in another. This blog provides some real-life tips from the field on finding that information and using it to help identify impacted workers.

States are required to provide Rapid Response and appropriate career services under WIOA to workers when a Petition for Trade Adjustment Assistance is filed on their behalf. The requirement exists regardless of the size of the layoff and regardless of whether the group of worker is ever certified under the TAA Program. The origin of the requirement dates back to 1985. How are we doing on that requirement? We're not entirely sure... yet.
