WIOA Title I Formula Allocations – PY 24-25
Workforce Services Information Notice
WSIN23-50
Issued: June 6, 2023
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title I Adult, Youth and Dislocated Worker formula fund allocations for each Local Workforce Development Area (Local Area), for Program Year (PY) 2024-25 have been released. The allocations are based on the allotments issued to states by the U.S. Department of Labor Training and Employment Guidance Letter 12-23, dated May 8, 2024.
The WIOA prescribes a specific method to calculate sub-state hold harmless levels for Dislocated Worker Program funds. As a result, there is an alignment in the WIOA hold harmless provisions across the Youth, Adult, and Dislocated Worker programs. The hold harmless provisions help mitigate year-to-year volatility in funding levels. Under the WIOA, hold harmless provisions ensure that each Local 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.
This notice is being issued for planning and budgeting purposes only. The state has not received the federal Notice of Award (NOA) for any of the funding streams. Once the NOA is 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, 2024, under the grant code 301. The Adult and Dislocated Worker Allocations will be released as soon as we receive federal and state spending authority for these funds.
The Federal 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. Additionally, Attachment 2 provides a breakdown of how each of the three funding streams are allocated.
