Federal Waiver Request for Comment

A draft federal waiver request (pdf, 21K) is available for review and comment. In the request the State of Florida is requesting a waiver from the United States Department of Labor to allow the State to replace the current core measures required by the Workforce Investment Act, Wagner-Peyser Act, Jobs for Veterans Act, and Trade Adjustment Assistance Program with the common measures delineated by recent guidance issued by the federal government in Training and Guidance Letter 17-05. The waiver, if approved, would constitute an amendment to Florida’s Strategic Two-Year Workforce Investment Act Plan for Title I of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and Wagner Peyser Act. Interested parties have 30 days to review the draft waiver and offer comments. Any questions and/or comments should be sent to Richard Meik at rmeik@workforceflorida.com by 12/7/2007.
