ACTION BULLETIN

TO: One-Stop Career Centers Site Managers

DATE: 11/22/2002

SUBJECT: Geo Code Tracking Requirement - Priority of Service - Residency
Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs

PURPOSE OF BULLETIN:
The purpose of the bulletin is to provide information and instructions for geographical code tracking of residency for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs in conjunction with the Priority of Service – Residency (Action Bulletin AB #-23 Effective 9/30/02). Geo Code tracking requirements will not apply to discretionary grants.

BACKGROUND:
At the September 12, 2002 meeting, the Alameda County Workforce Investment Board approved a Priority of Service – Residency for:

1. Adults and Dislocated Workers who, on the date of application, reside within the EASTBAY Works Regional Area (Alameda County and Contra Costa County inclusive).
Or
2. Dislocated workers laid off, due to substantial layoff or plant closure, from a facility located within the EASTBAY Works Regional Area (Alameda County and Contra Costa County inclusive).
Or
3. By exception, Adults and Dislocated Workers, who on the date of application, reside outside the EASTBAY Works Regional Area (Alameda County and Contra Costa County inclusive). Exceptions require a Site Manager or designee signature and will be on a case-by-case basis.

Geographical codes identify, by local Workforce Investment Area (LWIA), where customers reside or worked. Alameda County Workforce Investment Board (AlaCoWIB) is then able to review service distribution among the One Stop Career Centers. The following geo codes are to be used in Box 13 when completing an initial application for WIA enrollment.

A Geo Code applies when:
(1) The customer resides in a City within an EASTBAY Works Geo Code group, or
(2) The customer was laid off due to substantial layoff or plant closure, from a facility located in a City within an EASTBAY Works Geo Code group, or
(3) The customer has been approved for enrollment by exception of the One Stop Site Manager, then use Geo Code 3000.
