For PY 2025, the DOL will not factor Effectiveness in Serving Employers into determinations of performance or nonperformance. Additionally, the DOL will factor Overall State Indicator Scores and Overall State Program Scores in determining performance, except for those associated with the Credential Attainment Rate.
Under WIOA Section 116(b), the state is required to assess performance outcomes at the end of each program year (PY). The state will calculate whether a Local Area performed successfully in PY 2025 in alignment with the TEN 03-26.
For more information on how performance is calculated, refer to Calculating Local Area Performance and Nonperformance (WSD20-02).
