December. This would effectively mean new providers would be required to have two years of performance metrics. Resolution —TEGL 8-19, Attachment 1 indicates that, "The performance of ETPs is a factor that states must use in determining both initial and continued eligibility of a provider to be included on the state's ETP list." The state requires placement data for initial eligibility for two main reasons: 1) it ensures that providers on the ETPL are of a certain quality in keeping with state and federal laws and regulations, and 2) participants are more likely to be successful in WIOA (i.e. employment) if the ETPL program meets the initial eligibility placement requirement. This benefits Local Board performance numbers. Performance data is entered directly into CalJOBS, and is no longer verified using the BPPE Annual Report. Comment #32 —Given the time it takes for a provider to create and complete an ETPL application, what is the exact timeframe for Local Boards to complete their review process? Resolution — Local Boards should complete their review process of a provider within 30 calendar days of the complete provider and/or program data being submitted into CalJOBS. The state considers the date of a program being submitted as the application date, and the Local Board has 30 days from that date to nominate the program for review to the state. Comment #33 — Is it required that all initial and continued eligibility reviews be reviewed by the state prior to a Local Board approving? If so, what is the process for this? Resolution — Local Boards will submit providers and their programs to the state for review. This is called "nominating," and the process will be very similar to the current one for adding programs to the ETPL. Within 30 days of receiving the nomination, the state will review the data in CaIJOBS and either approve or deny the provider and/or program, and inform the Local Board. Comment #34— In the past, performance was collected during the subsequent eligibility period. Are we now, gathering information on performance prior to listing a program on the ETPL? Is there an exception for performance if the provider or program is new? Resolution — Yes, performance information must be provided as part of the initial eligibility review process. The use of performance data during initial eligibility review is required by the DOL, and cannot be waived. Continued Eligibility Comment #35 — Removing programs and then requiring a program meet continued eligibility requirements limits consumer choice and would slow the ETPL's ability to foster demand - driven skills attainment. Resolution —The state has implemented this policy to limit the number of providers that are only on the ETPL for other funding sources (e.g. Workers' Compensation Vouchers) and should help limit the burden of the Local Board ETPL Coordinators in reviewing these providers if they are not helping participants in the workforce system. Comment #36 — Previously, it was up to the Local Board to determine if a provider or program can stay on the ETPL. Is it required that we remove the provider if no enrollments have Page 8 of 25
