2024-008 WIOA Cluster Eligibility Support Information on the Federal Program: Assistance Listing Numbers 17.258, 17.259, and 17.278 — Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Cluster, United States Department of Labor. Pass- Through Entity: Florida Department of Commerce. Award Numbers: WIA23, WIA24, WIS23, WIY23, WIY24, WIS23, WIR24, WID23, WRS22, and WIS 23. Compliance Requirements: Eligibility. Type of Finding: Internal Control Finding. Criteria: According to the Compliance Supplement, 2 CFR PART 200, APPENDIX XI, published by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Cluster, for eligibility for individuals, the Local Workforce Development Board (LWDB) must perform its own assessment of the eligibility requirements of participants for WIOA cluster programs. Condition: In the current year, of the six participants tested for eligibility assessments by the LWDB, the LWDB was unable to provide the applicable eligibility forms and documentation of eligibility determinations. Cause: Due to the transfer of operations beginning on July 1, 2024 to a new LWDB, turnover within the LWDB, and movement to a new office, the LWDB was not able to locate the applicable eligibility forms and documentation of eligibility determinations. Effect: No supporting documentation for four participants was available, and therefore, we were unable to ascertain if the LWDB completed the required eligibility forms and if the required documentation and assessment of participant eligibility was completed.
