                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
 CHAPTER V--EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 663--ADULT AND DISLOCATED WORKER ACTIVITIES UNDER TITLE I OF THE WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT--Table of Contents
 
               Subpart F--Priority and Special Populations
 
Sec. 663.600  What priority must be given to low-income adults and public assistance recipients served with adult funds under title I?


    (a) WIA states, in section 134(d)(4)(E), that in the event that 
funds allocated to a local area for adult employment and training 
activities are limited, priority for intensive and training services 
funded with title I adult funds must be given to recipients of public 
assistance and other low-income individuals in the local area.
    (b) Since funding is generally limited, States and local areas must 
establish criteria by which local areas can determine the availability 
of funds and the process by which any priority will be applied under WIA 
section 134(d)(2)(E). Such criteria may include the availability of 
other funds for providing employment and training-related services in 
the local area, the needs of the specific groups within the local area, 
and other appropriate factors.
    (c) States and local areas must give priority for adult intensive 
and training services to recipients of public assistance and other low-
income individuals, unless the local area has determined that funds are 
not limited under the criteria established under paragraph (b) of this 
section.
    (d) The process for determining whether to apply the priority 
established under paragraph (b) of this section does not necessarily 
mean that only the recipients of public assistance and other low income 
individuals may receive WIA adult funded intensive and

training services when funds are determined to be limited in a local 
area. The Local Board and the Governor may establish a process that 
gives priority for services to the recipients of public assistance and 
other low income individuals and that also serves other individuals 
meeting eligibility requirements.
