Policy:

The LLSIL and poverty guidelines are used to establish low-income status for Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Title I programs. Local Workforce Investment Boards (LWIB) need the LLSIL to determine eligibility for youth, eligibility for employed adults under priority of service, defining self-sufficiency, and for the reauthorization of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit.

Action:

WIA Title I program operators are responsible for using the LLSIL and poverty guidelines as appropriate to establish low-income status for eligible applicants.
