� Employm ent EDD Development � State of California INFORMATION NOTICE Date: May 14, 2020 Number: WSIN19-45 Expiration Date: 05/15/2022 WIOA FORMULA ALLOCATIONS - PY 20-21 The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title I formula fund allocations for each Local Workforce Development Area (Local Area), for Program Year (PY) 2020-21, have been released. These allocations (Adult, Youth, and Dislocated Worker (DW)) are based on the allotments issued by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), to the states per Training and Employment Guidance Letter 16 -19, dated April 23, 2020. The WIOA prescribes a specific method to calculate sub-state hold harmless levels for DW Program funds. As a result, there is an alignment in the WIOA hold harmless provisions across the Youth, Adult, and DW programs. These hold harmless provisions were established to help mitigate year-to-year volatility in funding levels. Under the WIOA, hold harmless provisions ensure that each area receives no less than 90 percent of their average percentage share from the two prior years. The local areas that receive more than 100 percent of their average percentage share from the previous two years will be proportionately reduced by the amount of total funding necessary to ensure that all local areas receive at least 90 percent of their average percentage share from the two prior years. Please be aware that this notice is being issued for planning and budgeting purposes only because the state has not yet received the federal Notice of Award (NOA) for any of the funding streams. Once the NOA has been received, Youth allocations will be released to Local Areas immediately. Youth allotments to the states will be issued in one sum with an effective date of April 1, 2020, under the grant code 301. The Adult and DW allocations will be released as soon as we receive federal and state spending authority for these funds. The allotment to California and the amounts available for the formula allocation to the local areas are listed below. Attachment 1 reflects the total amount local areas will receive for each of the funding streams during the PY 20-21. Additionally, Attachment 2 provides a breakdown of how each of the three funding streams are allocated. The EDD is an equal opportunity employer/program. Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities. Page 1 of 2 69:42 EXHIBIT 1
