Objective
The Dislocated Worker (DW) program is one of the six core programs authorized by Title I of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The purpose of the WIOA Dislocated Worker (DW) program is to help dislocated workers get back to work as quickly as possible and overcome barriers to employment. When individuals become dislocated workers as a result of job loss, mass layoffs, global trade dynamics or transitions in economic sectors, the DW program provides services to assist them in re-entering the workforce. States can reserve up to 25 percent of their DW funds for Rapid Response activities. The program's success is measured by the following core indicators of performance: 1. Employment Rate - 2nd Quarter After Exit; 2. Employment Rate - 4th Quarter After Exit; 3. Median Earnings - 2nd Quarter After Exit; 4. Credential Attainment Rate; 5. Measurable Skill Gains.
Type of Assistance
A - Formula Grants
Applicant Eligibility
Under WIOA, the entities eligible to receive formula-based funding from the Department are the 50 states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and the outlying areas. Funds are allotted based on a statutory formula and states, in turn, allocate funds to local workforce development boards (approximately 600), which are responsible for operating comprehensive American Job Centers (approximately 2,400 nationwide).
Beneficiary Eligibility
Individuals eligible for assistance through the Act are workers who have lost their jobs, including those dislocated as a result of plant closings or mass layoffs, and are unlikely to return to their previous industry or occupation; formerly self-employed individuals; and displaced homemakers who depend on income of another family member, but are no longer supported by that income. Priority of Service is given to veterans and other covered persons.
