II. Substate Area Grantee
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners will be the Grant Recipient.
The Weld County Private Industry Council will have planning and monitoring
responsibility for the program. The program will be administered through
Employment Services of Weld County, the Weld County Service Delivery Area
(SDA) .
The geographical area to be served is Weld County Colorado.
Layoffs in the past year have occurred in a wide range of industries. The
"Declining Employment Comparison Report PY 89 and PY 90" indicates the job
lost for Weld County was 1,058. The major losses that occurred by
industry were: general building, 256; eating and drinking establishment,
143; educational services, 92; electric gas and sanitation, 85; instrument
manufacturing, 78; agricultural services, 59; trucking and warehousing,
41; and general merchandising, 34.
A priority rating system for EDWAA applicants has not been formerly
structured. It is the intent in Weld County to serve all segments of the
dislocated worker populations. However, a focus is made to serve those
most in need who would benefit from services. Historically, the majority
of EDWAA clients are from plant closings, layoffs, or long term
unemployed. It is anticipated that these will be the major categories.
Services are provided as appropriate for the EDWAA participant without a
preference to eligibility requirements.
III. EDWAA Annual Plan Narrative
A. Outreach and Recruitment
In general the purpose of EDWAA funds is to assist individuals who
have been terminated or laid-off from their jobs because of structural
and economic changes. The general goal is to serve individuals who
need assistance in transferring or developing work skills.
The primary sources of recruitment for EDWAA is through the Job
Service programs. All clients are informed of the programs and given
a questionnaire to complete which identifies potential clients. Staff
have been trained to determine potential eligibility and refer them to
an orientation. This process reaches these individuals who may be UI
claimants or others seeking employment that would meet EDWAA criteria.
Other methods include contacting employers who are going out of
business or experiencing a lay-off and offer our services.
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners and the Weld County
Private Industry Council have determined that funds under this plan
will be targeted to dislocated workers who meet the eligibility
criteria for dislocated workers and may not be able to be served under
Title II-A.
1
920477
B. Eligibility
Employment Services of Weld County co-administers the Employment
Services/Greeley Job Services. Due to close relationship all clients
who register for Employment Services or Unemployment Insurance are
informed of the EDWAA. A pre-screening form is completed by all
applicants. The pre-screening forms identify EDWAA areas of
eligibility and a self-assessment of services and training a potential
client may be interested in. The Client Services Technician
telephones all potential EDWAA applicants to schedule an application
appointment and informs the potential applicant of the document
requirements.
The Client Services Technician who is responsible for intake verifies
eligibility. The type of documentation kept in a client's file is
determined by the eligibility category and is sufficient to support
eligibility. Example of document used to determine eligibility
includes: UI wage screen to determine category to receive UI; notice
of plant closing; UI wage screen review of length of unemployment;
social security cards; documents for age/MSSA, etc. Information can
be verified via documentary evidence, secondary data sources, or
collateral contacts. Permission to verify the eligibility is obtained
from the participant at point of application.
A second reviewer conducts a verification of eligibility to insure
that the file contains a complete application, all necessary paperwork
and documentation is in the file and that the information is
consistent and reasonable.
A part of the application process includes a five year work history.
The job of dislocation is identified in the work history.
Title II-A eligibility determination is not completed for all EDWAA
clients.
If an applicant is eligible for both titles, the case manager makes
the decision of title based on the needs of the participant and the
services of funds available to best assist the client obtain the
employment goal.
Employment Services, as a Job Service Center, will coordinate with
Unemployment Insurance activities to deliver services to recently
dislocated workers.
The 10% Special Needs funds will be used to assist Displaced
Homemakers. Coordination will occur with A Woman's Place, and other
agencies serving the displaced homemaker population.
The enrollment process includes determination of eligibility for Title
II-A. This assures that Special Needs funds are not used for
Displaced Homemakers who are eligible for Title II-A.

92O217,7
Participant information is verified via documentary evidence,
secondary data sources, or collateral contacts. Permission for
Employment Services to verify the participants eligibility is obtained
from the participant during enrollment.
C. Certification of Continuing Eligibility (CCE)
Employment Services of Weld County will not issue Certificates of
Continuing Eligibility.
Weld County may accept and enroll referrals from other SDAs; however,
Weld County will have the client complete the eligibility and
verification processes. Based on results of eligibility documentation
and assessment, the client may be enrolled.
D. Involvement of Organized Labor
1. Development of the Plan
A representative of organized labor is a member of the Weld County
Private Industry Council and the Adult Activities Committee. A
copy of the proposal will be submitted to the organized labor
representative for review and comment.
2. Implementation of EDWAA Services
The major linkage with organized labor is through their
representative on the PIC. Additional coordination will occur
when circumstances rise where organized labor needs to be involved
because services need to be provided to a substantial number of
its members. The specific activities will vary depending upon the
circumstance.
The Rapid Response Team will be contacted for layoff response
activities and basic response services as required.
Employment Services will continue to accept referrals for services
from organized labor.
E. Performance Standards
The Department of Labor established entered employment rate of 64%
will be used. The projected wage at placement is $5.50 per hour.
The Private Industry Council and Employment Services will monitor
performance on a quarterly basis. The areas to be monitored include
the entered employment rate and the wage at placement. Program
adjustments on the number of clients served or to be served will take
place quarterly to ensure compliance with EDWAA regulations.
