ACTION BULLETINS (PY 2004)

AB - # 48 Core B Payment Shift from Performance Based to Cost Reimbursement

AB - # 48

Effective Date: January 1, 2005



ACTION BULLETIN




TO: One-Stop Career Centers

DATE: January 15, 2005

SUBJECT: Core B Payment Shift from Performance Based to Cost Reimbursement


Purpose of Bulletin:

For PY 2004/2005, the amount of Core B funds allocated to each one-stop career center was significantly increased. This was done to increase the number of WIA registered adult and dislocated worker clients served. To assure that the Core B participants were served, the Core B funds were earned through a performance based payment plan.

After a six months analysis, it has become apparent that since the economy is still sluggish, participants need more time to find employment. This means that the one-stop career centers are not able to access their performance-based funds as quickly as anticipated. The length of the Core B participant involvement is having an unanticipated negative impact on the one-stop career center cash flow. Therefore, one-stop career centers will be able to amend their contracts to be entirely cost reimbursement for the months of January – June 2005.
