2 CareerSource Florida Board of Directors Meeting May 20, 2015 Action Item 1 Action Item 1 Approved Disapproved APPROVAL OF STATE AND REGIONAL BUDGET ALLOCATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015/16 * * * * * * * * * * * Each year, Florida is notified of several federal awards and various state appropriations to be received during the upcoming fiscal year. In most cases, the manner for distributing these funds among the state and 24 workforce regions is defined in the authorizing Federal Act or in the state appropriations bill; however, the specific state and regional calculations are not known until updated allocation factors are applied to the funding award. This action item defines these specific allocations in accordance with the authorizing grants, provides recommendations for the allocation of state-level funds for various state initiatives that advance the statewide strategic goals for workforce development and seeks board approval for specific reserves, commitments and regional workforce board allocations. This action item covers several major funding streams including the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which replaced the Workforce Investment Act; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); and Wagner-Peyser (WP) as well as other workforce-related funding initiatives. It serves as the financial blueprint for operationalizing the unified brand values, vision, mission, promise and pillars of the CareerSource Florida network: Our Values Business-Driven Continuous Improvement Integrity Talent Focus Purpose-Driven Our Vision Florida will be the global leader for talent. Our Mission The Florida Workforce System connects employers with qualified, skilled talent and Floridians with employment and career development opportunities to achieve economic prosperity. Our Promise Florida s Workforce System promises a dedicated team of professionals who possess an understanding of your needs. Uniquely positioned, we offer assets, expertise and effective partnerships to deliver seamless and efficient services, demonstrate our value to all customers through results and drive economic priorities through talent development. 1

3 Our Pillars Collaborate Innovate Lead Funding provided under WIOA must be allocated in accordance with the authorizing Federal Act (Public Law , as amended). This act defines specific allocation methodologies for its three principal funding streams (Adult, Youth, and Dislocated Worker) to be followed in allocating funding to regional workforce boards and defines allowances for funding levels for the state rapid response initiative and the state-level set-aside (also referred to as the Governor s Reserve or as discretionary state board funding). In the case of TANF state-appropriated funds, the Florida Legislature allocates a certain level of funding to the workforce system but does not define specific regional allocations or the specific allocation methodology that the state board must use. However, the Legislature does define specific line-item appropriations or specific proviso language, which would be deducted from total funding available prior to the allocation of TANF funds to regions. This board, in determining specific regional allocations, is required to maximize funds distributed directly to the regional workforce boards through these appropriations, with such distributions to be based on the anticipated client caseload and the achievement of performance standards. Specific direction and approval is needed by the board for key workforce investment areas as follows: 1. Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Funding consisting of the Adult, Youth, and Dislocated Worker funding streams with three primary allocation categories: a. Regional Workforce Board Allocations b. State-Level Set-Aside or Governor s Reserve c. State Rapid Response Funds 2. Temporary Assistance For Needy Families including: a. State-Level Allocations and Initiatives b. Regional Workforce Board Allocations and Initiatives 3. Jointly Managed Programs including: a. Wagner-Peyser b. Combined Veterans Programs 4. Other Workforce-Related Programs including: a. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance b. Reemployment Assistance Services 5. Budget Implementing Actions 2

4 WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY ACT (WIOA) FEDERAL PROGRAM YEAR 2015 for Fiscal Year 2015/16 $147,359,485, (Prior Year 2014/15 $150,361,328; decrease of $3,001,843 or 2%) BASIC PURPOSE AND ELIGIBILITY: 1. Core, intensive and training services for adults, youth and dislocated workers through the CareerSource Florida network; and 2. Broad, nearly universal eligibility for low-cost core services (e.g. access to job listings), but more restrictive eligibility for intensive and training services based on low income, employment barriers and/or dislocation from employment. SPECIFIC MANDATES/LIMITATIONS: At present, there are multiple federal restrictions and regulations governing allocation to state and regional workforce boards, the use of funds, reporting, etc. Further, state law mandates percentages of WIOA funds that must be used for Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) at the local level. DISTRIBUTION MECHANISMS: Federal laws specify formulas for distributing WIOA among states and for sub-state allocations, primarily based upon relative shares of workforce, unemployment and poverty factors. WIOA (Public Law ) provided that for Adult and Youth funding streams, 85% of the total federal award must be distributed to regional workforce boards by formula, and allowed the Governor to reserve up to 15% at the state level for operational expenses, performance-based incentive payments to regions, program management and oversight, and state board-authorized initiatives. Similarly, WIOA Dislocated Worker funds also contributed 15% to the state-level pool, with another 25% of the total federal award allocated for purposes of funding a state-level program for rapid response assistance to dislocated workers, including emergency supplements to regional workforce boards. The remaining 60% of the federal dislocated funds were then distributed to the regions based on a formula emphasizing relative unemployment factors. For the last four fiscal years, congressional actions have decreased the statutory 15% portion of the formula grant funds that governors may reserve for statewide activities from a low of 5% to last year s portion of 8.75%. This year, the reserve for statewide activities is 10%, which still represents a 33% reduction from the statutory 15% reserve. The latest change in the state set-aside is not permanent and efforts continue at the national level to fully restore the 15% discretionary funding. SPECIFIC FUND DISTRIBUTIONS FOR FY 2015/16: For specific identification of amounts to be received under the various WIOA categories by the state and regions, refer to the flowchart titled Florida Funding for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. As shown on this chart, a total of $147,359,485 has currently been awarded to Florida from Program Year 2015 funds for Fiscal Year 2015/16, down by $3,001,843 or a decrease of 2% from the previous year s grant award. From the total WIOA funds awarded, an increased percentage of 10%, or $14,735,950, is allocated by the Federal Act to the state-level set-aside pool; the statewide Dislocated Worker Program for the Rapid Response Unit is allocated 25%, or $15,446,683, of the federal Dislocated Worker funding, and the balance of $117,176,852 is allocated to the 24 regions. 3

5 FY 2014/15 FY 2015/16 Change Total WIOA Grant Award $ 150,361,328 $ 147,359,485 $ ( 3,001,843) State Set-Aside 13,156,617 14,735,950 1,579,333 Rapid Response 15,078,788 15,446, ,895 Regional Allocations 122,125, ,176,852 ( 4,949,071) REGIONAL WORKFORCE BOARD (RWB) ALLOCATIONS As shown on the Florida Funding for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act chart for Program Year 2015, a total of $117,176,852 is available through direct formula allocations to regions from the Adult, Youth and Dislocated Worker funds. Federal laws specify formulas for distributing WIOA among the 24 regions, primarily based upon relative shares of workforce, unemployment and poverty factors. The spreadsheet titled Program Year 2015 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, Regional Workforce Board Formula Allocations, shows the total allocations of WIOA funds with a comparison to the prior year, and the four sets of spreadsheets that follow it reflect the individual allocations for each of the three funding streams. During the November 2014 CareerSource Florida board meeting, action was taken to recommend to the Governor that Okeechobee County s request for redesignation from CareerSource Research Coast (Region 20) to CareerSource Heartland (Region 19) be granted. Since that time, the CareerSource Florida professional team has received approval from the Governor s office to move forward with the redesignation, modified the state plan to reflect the redesignation and submitted the modified state plan to the United States Department of Labor (USDOL). However, we have not received approval from the USDOL on the modification. Therefore, we have provided the regional allocations under two scenarios. The first is as if Okeechobee County remains in CareerSource Research Coast and the second is as if Okeechobee County becomes part of CareerSource Heartland. We are recommending approval of both scenarios, with the authority to allocate the funds dependent upon the final decision by USDOL. STATE SET-ASIDE ALLOCATIONS 10% State Set-Aside Allocation As shown in the Florida Funding for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act chart, the Federal Act allocates a portion of each of the WIOA Adult, Youth, and Dislocated Worker funding streams for use by the Governor for state-level initiatives. For Fiscal Year 2015/16, the amount currently allocated to the state is $14,735,950. Although the level of funding represents an increase from the previous year in total dollars ($1,579,333), the statelevel funding is still 33% below its statutory levels as provided in WIOA. Under WIOA, 15% of funds are required to be set aside for state-level activities, which would have resulted in $22,103,922 (a difference of $7,367,973) available for statewide activities. From these state-level funds, the CareerSource Florida Board allocates certain funds for administrative and program costs of the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and CareerSource Florida. Additionally, in accordance with Section (3)(a)2, Florida Statutes, $2 million in WIOA setaside funds must be allocated for the Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) program, administered by the CareerSource Florida professional team. From the balance of state-level WIOA funds, this board determines any additional or specific allotments for purposes of state demonstration and pilot projects 4

6 as well as other workforce development initiatives. FY 2015/16 Total WIOA Set-Aside Pool $14,735,950 Plus Estimated Balance of Recaptured Funds 1,126,911 Total WIOA Funds Available 15,862,861 Less Appropriations and Required Allocations: DEO/CareerSource Florida Program Services (6,388,288) RWB Support and Shared Services (828,727) Incumbent Worker Training (Per FL Statutes) (2,000,000) Balance of Funds Available for Board Discretion $ 6,645,846 Discretionary Board Allocations As shown in the previous tabulation, CareerSource Florida has available discretionary funding in the amount of $6,645,846, after combining the balance of Workforce Investment Act unobligated funding brought forward from the prior year with the new year s WIOA grant award and accounting for fixed administrative costs and required allocations. The following funding recommendations reflect strategic initiatives and priorities directed by the CareerSource Florida Executive Committee, specific funding requests from the Department of Economic Opportunity and regional workforce boards, and other discretionary funding priorities recommended by the CareerSource Florida professional team that advance the CareerSource Florida network s collective effort to respond to the employment and training needs of businesses, job seekers and workers today and in the future. Funding for the Continuation of Marketplace Business Intelligence ($410,000) Under the direction of the CareerSource Florida Executive Committee in April of 2014, and with a subsequent allocation by the CareerSource Florida Board of Directors, a new sector strategy approach for marketplace business intelligence is being developed to position the CareerSource Florida network to respond to rapid economic and competitiveness changes as Florida s economic recovery continues. Sector partnerships address common needs of employers and generate coordinated solutions across all segments of the talent delivery system. Among other benefits, a sector strategy will position the workforce system to more effectively engage employers, address current and emerging skills gaps, identify and respond to key policy needs and more effectively align and leverage programs and resources that serve employers, job seekers and workers. In addition, the intelligence gathered will be fed into CareerSource Florida s Market Intelligence Portal, which is currently under development. The two sectors selected as focal areas for this effort are health care and advanced manufacturing. We have contracted with key industry entities to develop the two councils, and would move into the next fiscal year poised to begin gathering that critical industry information. Emerging Initiatives Funding ($400,000) Through CareerSource Florida s new disciplined process of validating project ideas and activities, we recognize the need to continually evaluate prospective project proposals as well as current initiatives. Economic conditions, business climate, and industry needs can change rapidly over a twelve-month period. As these changes occur, the CareerSource Florida network must be prepared to take proactive steps to analyze and address those changing conditions. If a decision is made during the fiscal year to fund a new initiative based on how it advances our strategic 5

7 goals and principles, the state will need to ensure there are funds available, if needed, for any new project costs. To position CareerSource Florida to address and respond to workforce development strategies resulting from emerging ideas and initiatives throughout the year, these funds would be available to support new project needs and goals. Regional Performance Incentives ($3,400,000) Over the past year CareerSource Florida, through a collaborative statewide process, has designed a data-driven, outcome-based Performance Funding Model for the CareerSource Florida network that will inform policy discussions and decisions, align resources to shared goals, reward excellence and showcase improvement through a series of critical metrics. This model has formed the basis for the awarding of annual regional performance incentives and reflects essential system-wide success indicators that align with both state and regional priorities. Performance will be awarded based on the TIE Model Target, Improve and Excel. Long-horizon metrics and shorthorizon metrics are being developed for job placements, employer engagement, cost of doing business and customer satisfaction. These metrics are being designed at the regional level with full collaboration across all 24 local workforce boards. This funding recommendation would be used to implement the new Performance Funding Model and drive the types of outcomes the CareerSource Florida Network needs for Florida to become the global leader for talent. Rural Initiatives ($600,000) Four workforce regions (Regions 3, 6, 7 and 19) are designated by the Executive Office of the Governor as Rural Areas of Critical Economic Concern (RACEC); Region 2, although not designated as a RACEC, has areas within its boundaries that face similar economic challenges. Chief Executives of these regions have previously identified as a top priority the maintenance of funding at a minimal level to sustain operations within Florida s rural regions and provide a minimal level of workforce service to employers and residents. In some past years, this board has provided supplementary funds to support rural workforce development. Previous initiatives within these regions using such funds include entrepreneurial programs, employer outreach efforts and projects to address e-commerce, information technology and the rural WIRED initiative. Funding recommended for Fiscal Year 2015/16 would be used by the five rural regions to address critical workforce needs. Each region would be allotted $120,000 and would submit a plan for the use of these funds to the CareerSource Florida professional team with goals, outcomes and costs. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System (Salesforce) Licenses ($347,039) Under the Expanding Business Engagement initiative, established in 2011, the CareerSource Florida Business & Workforce Development team, along with a group of pilot regions, reviewed and selected a technology platform to help everyone begin consistently tracking the number and types of businesses they serve. After a thorough review, Salesforce.com was selected as the system-wide CRM platform. The Salesforce instance was shaped by Florida s workforce network business professionals, and provides a consistent process that everyone can use to track the businesses they serve and help in identifying and deepening our business market penetration. With Salesforce, we now have a crossregional resource in place with a singular aim of improving our services to business seamlessly and efficiently as a true network. Other states, including Texas and Colorado, are looking to Florida as a leading example of how to implement this technology with their own business teams. Last year, the board approved performance funding for regions who adopted the instance and licenses were distributed based on region size. All 24 RWBs adopted the instance. Going forward, additional opportunities exist for the CareerSource Florida network to perform business outreach through this efficient, real-time technology, very important in an era of diminishing federal funds. Additionally, a 6

8 module can be added to the existing instance to allow us to capture customer satisfaction metrics for the CSF Performance Funding Model. This funding recommendation would again provide licenses to all 24 regions, based on region size. As we look to our network-wide values of business-driven and continuous improvement, the CRM clearly is an example of how we collaborate, innovate and lead. Juvenile Offender Workforce Pilot Project ($201,363) The Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), DEO, CareerSource Florida, and the regional workforce boards collaborate on several initiatives across the state aimed at improving the employment outcomes for juvenile offenders. On January 1, 2015, DJJ and DEO entered into a statewide Memorandum of Agreement to establish general conditions and joint processes that will enable each agency to collaborate as partners to ensure juvenile offenders under the supervision of DJJ have information about and access to services provided by the state s workforce system. The agreement outlines mutual responsibilities that allow for planning at the state, regional and local levels, promotes the development of linkages between DJJ and the RWBs, encourages collaboration and establishes guidelines for data sharing protocol development. Based on this Agreement, DJJ, DEO and CareerSource Northeast Florida entered into a pilot project with funding from DJJ and CareerSource Florida. The purpose of the pilot project was to improve the employment outcomes for youthful offenders under the jurisdiction of DJJ within CareerSource Northeast Florida s local workforce area. DEO is requesting funding for a second year of the pilot project to provide career assessments, labor market information training, work readiness activities, employer engagement services, job placement, case management and paid work experiences for 150 targeted youth with barriers to employment. Funding Sources Department of Juvenile Justice $150,000 CareerSource Florida $201,363 Total Funding for Project $351,363 AmeriCorps Program ($98,328) AmeriCorps programs provide opportunities for Americans to make an intensive commitment to service. The AmeriCorps network of local, state and national service programs engages more than 80,000 Americans in projects around the nation each year. Members focus on disaster service, economic opportunity, education, environmental stewardship, a healthy future and veterans and military families. In Florida, the AmeriCorps projects are managed by Volunteer Florida through funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). DEO has proposed the continuation of an AmeriCorps workforce project focused on job training and placement, consistent with the program s economic opportunity objectives. The goal of the workforce project is to increase youth engagement through employment readiness services and to increase employment opportunities for youth. The proposed AmeriCorps workforce project will target out-of-school and at-risk youth (14 21) and those who are disconnected from the workforce or education. Special emphasis is placed on serving youth 7

9 who are low income and/or recipients of public assistance and who face additional barriers to employment, such as being involved with the juvenile justice system, being in or aging out of foster care, pregnant or parenting, children of migrant and seasonal farm workers, and/or non-native speakers of English. Four regional workforce boards are participating in this project: RWB 5 CareerSource Capital Region (Gadsden, Leon, and Wakulla Counties); RWB 10 CareerSource Citrus Levy Marion (Citrus, Levy, and Marion Counties); RWB 14 CareerSource Pinellas (Pinellas County); and RWB 15 CareerSource Tampa Bay (Hillsborough County). These RWBs have actively participated in the development of the grant proposal and have identified cash and in-kind contributions to support the project. A fifth RWB may be added. DEO, working with those regions, has prepared a CNCS grant continuation proposal to fund 21 AmeriCorps members to participate in this initiative. Federal funds received from the grant will be used to directly support the AmeriCorps members (i.e., stipend, travel expenses, etc.). DEO has committed a portion of its workforce funding to support a full-time equivalent (FTE) position to serve as the project director, and the participating RWBs have agreed to contribute funding and in-kind support to the project. However, to ensure the project s viability, additional funding is needed for the purchase of AmeriCorps members workers compensation insurance, health insurance, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes, and travel costs for the AmeriCorps members. Also, a portion of the funds being committed by CareerSource Florida will be used to cover project management costs at CareerSource Citrus Levy Marion. DEO is requesting $98,328 in funds from the CareerSource Florida Board for year two of this pilot project for the period of January 1, 2016 December 31, Proposed Budget Plan CNCS $287,223 DEO $76,312 RWBs $110,263 CareerSource Florida $98,328 Total $572,126 Budget Reserve ($1,000,000) For a fifth consecutive year, state-level WIOA discretionary funding is provided at the reduced amount (33% below statutory levels). In addition, as our economy continues to improve, the overall amount of WIOA funding for Florida continues to decline, further affecting the amount of funds available at the state and regional level. Prudent fiscal policy requires a budget reserve, to not only provide a level of comfort, but also to maintain fiscal responsibility. Because of responsible spending at the state level in the past, Florida s workforce system has been able to successfully manage through the recent recession and recovery. Therefore, we recommend the maintenance of a reasonable budget reserve that does not adversely affect the workforce network s performance. The recommended reserve funding level equals approximately 7% of total Program Year 2015 state-level funding, which is estimated to be about a one-month reserve. Discretionary Funding Summary In the event the foregoing reserves and commitments are approved by the board, an estimated balance of $189,116 will remain available to CareerSource Florida to fund new initiatives or carry forward into 8

10 the next fiscal year. Please note this amount is an estimate because certain current-year funds may be required to be expended before the closeout of Fiscal Year 2014/15 and may not be available for carryforward purposes, or allocated funds may not be expended at the level expected during the fiscal year. Total 2014/15 WIOA Funds Available $6,645,846 Less Proposed Discretionary Board Allocations: Marketplace Intelligence Councils (410,000) Emerging Initiatives (400,000) RWB Performance Incentives (3,400,000) Rural Initiatives (600,000) Salesforce Licenses (347,039) DJJ Youthful Offender Partnership (201,363) AmeriCorps Workforce Pilot Project (98,328) 7% Budget Reserve (1,000,000) Balance Remaining for State Projects $189,116 WIOA STATE RAPID RESPONSE FUNDS As noted previously, 25%, or $15,446,683, of the total federal WIOA Dislocated Worker funding ($61,786,732) provided to the state for Fiscal Year 2015/16 is reserved by federal law for purposes of establishing and operating the state-level Rapid Response Unit. From this amount, the board is required by Chapter 445, F.S., to maintain an emergency reserve, historically set at $3,000,000, and to fund operational costs of the DEO Rapid Response Unit. The following tabulation shows the distribution of the total federal award for 2015/16: Total Dislocated Worker Funds (15/16) $61,786,732 Less Regional Pass-Through (65%) - 40,161,375 Less State-Level Set Aside (10%) - 6,178,674 Balance for State-Level Set Aside (25%) $15,446,683 From the total Rapid Response funding available to the board from new-year funding, program management costs of $500,069 are being requested as well as continuation of the $3,000,000 emergency reserve to address major events that may occur during Fiscal Year 2015/16. The USDOL has recently announced that states may use unspent rapid response funds for certain specific costs of implementing WIOA. While it is not yet known what types of costs or amounts will be needed as Florida moves from the planning to implementation phase of the new Act, we propose holding in reserve $1,864,021 of PY 2014 carry-forward funds to be used for implementation of WIOA. 9

11 Total Rapid Response State-Level Allocation $15,446,683 Plus: Projected Carry-forward from FY 2014/15 1,864,021 Projected Funds Available for FY 2015/16 $17,310,704 Less: Proposed RR Program Unit Costs -500,069 Less: Proposed Emergency Reserve (Chapter 445, F.S.) -3,000,000 Less: Proposed WIOA Implementation Funding -1,864,021 Balance Fund Reserve $11,946,614 In addition, the CareerSource Florida professional team proposes allocating $10,000,000 of the $11,946,614 that is available in discretionary Dislocated Worker funding through the use of the regional pass-through allocation formula. Combined with the $3,000,000 emergency reserve, the board will have a total of $4,946,614 to fund supplemental requests from regions during the upcoming fiscal year for major dislocations and plant closures as well as the needs of the unemployed and long-term unemployed. CareerSource Florida staff may provide another distribution through the use of the regional pass-through allocation formula after hurricane season, as the risk of major statewide disaster is reduced, unless it is determined that those funds will be needed in the following year for WIOA implementation. In the event of a major dislocation, if funding held at the state-level is insufficient to meet the needs of affected regions, CareerSource Florida will deobligate funds from unaffected regions and reobligate those funds to the affected regions. * * * * * * * * * * * NEEDED ACTIONS 1. Approval of the Program Year 2015/16 regional WIOA Adult, Youth and Dislocated Worker fund allocations under the two scenarios provided with the authority to allocate the funds dependent upon the actions of USDOL as it relates to the redesignation of Okeechobee County. 2. Approval to establish the 2015/16 WIOA state-level set-aside allocations, authorize operations and administration funding, other reserves, obligations, and commitments for the Department of Economic Opportunity and CareerSource Florida.

23 Action Item 1, Continued TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES (TANF) * * * * * * * * * * * STATE APPROPRIATIONS FISCAL YEAR 2015/16 $59,748,611 (Prior Year 2014/15 $59,744,036; increase of.01%) The 2015 Legislature has authorized the following appropriations of TANF funding for use in the workforce system: FY 2015/16 TANF State Level Administration & Initiatives: DEO and Board Administration $4,317,704 TANF Regional: Regional Allocations $54,014,907 Non-Custodial Parent Employment Program 1,416,000 BASIC PURPOSE AND ELIGIBILITY: TANF replaced the former Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and serves low-income families with children, including two-parent families. The TANF program strongly emphasizes a Work First philosophy, combining time limits and sanctions with added assistance in obtaining needed training, starting work, receiving childcare, transportation and transitional supports to retain employment, advance and become self-sufficient. SPECIFIC MANDATES/LIMITATIONS: Eligibility limits for receiving Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) benefits are fairly complex and rigid and include having a gross income equal to or less than 185% of the federal poverty level and limited assets. Services/programs that assist families in avoiding welfare dependency by gaining and retaining employment are available in the form of onetime payments, job placement assistance and transitional work support services and can be more broadly extended to needy families (set at 200% of the poverty level in Florida). Also, there are other diversion programs designed to reduce and/or prevent welfare dependency, such as teen pregnancy prevention programs, programs that enable the formation and maintenance of two-parent families and post-employment career advancement and job retention programs. Florida is required to provide matching state general revenue funds to satisfy the federal maintenance of effort. TANF funds may not be used for medical expenses, undocumented immigrants or convicted felons. TANF funds, which are unspent at the local level within specified time limits, are restricted to benefits only and can no longer be used for other purposes such as workforce and support services. 22

24 DISTRIBUTION MECHANISMS: TANF funds are provided to the state by federal block grants with some special supplements provided to Florida and other states. There are no federally established formulas for sub-state distribution of TANF funds, noting that TANF administration in most states is state or county-based, with no decentralized governance/delivery structures similar to Florida s regional workforce boards. The Florida Legislature defines and approves the yearly appropriation of TANF funds to the Department of Economic Opportunity and the board to address both state and regional needs, which are further administered, allocated and directed by the state board. State-Level Initiatives for Fiscal Year 2015/16 As in prior fiscal years, the 2015 Florida Legislature will appropriate TANF funds for program and administrative support for the Department of Economic Opportunity and the CareerSource Florida Board. The proposed appropriations bills that passed in both chambers during the regular 2015 legislative session had the same level of funding for TANF administrative purposes. Due to a budget impasse between the two chambers, we do not have final appropriation amounts for the 2015/16 fiscal year. We are recommending the board approve the amount included in both chamber s appropriation bills with the authority for the President and Treasurer to make adjustments to these spending levels when the final General Appropriations Act is signed into law. For fiscal year 2015/16, both chambers of the Legislature have appropriated a total of $4,317,704 for these purposes. Regional Boards Grants and Aids and Specific Legislative Proviso Similar to the above discussion on TANF administrative support, the proposed appropriations bills that passed in both chambers during the regular 2015 legislative session had the same level of funding for regional boards and specific legislative priorities. Due to a budget impasse between the two chambers, we do not have final appropriation amounts for the fiscal year. We are recommending the board approve the amounts included in both chamber s appropriation bills with the authority for the President and Treasurer to make adjustments to these spending levels when the final General Appropriations Act is signed into law. A total of $55,430,907 in TANF funds was appropriated by both chambers for these purposes. This amount includes a specific appropriation of $750,000 for the Non-Custodial Parent Employment Program (NCP) for Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties, and an additional $666,000 for Miami-Dade to be administered by CareerSource Pinellas. After deducting the $1,416,000 for the Non-Custodial Parent Employment Program, the remaining amount available for regional allocation is $54,014,907, which is the same level of funding as the prior year. We believe the 2015 Legislature will retain the specific language in proviso that requires the CareerSource Florida Board to maximize funds distributed directly to the regional boards with an equitable distribution of funds to the boards based on anticipated client caseload and the achievement of performance standards. Allocation factors previously approved by the board to allocate funds to the 24 regions meet this mandate in law regarding the anticipated client caseload, so staff is proposing no modification at this time. Updated actual numbers for both factors for the calendar year 2014 were obtained and used to calculate the regional distribution. The determination of the total amount proposed for distribution to the regions is shown as follows: FY 2015/16 Total TANF Workforce Services Appropriation $55,430,907 Less: Non-Custodial Parent Allocation -1,416,000 Balance of Appropriation for Distribution to Regions $54,014,907 23

25 The proposed allocation of these appropriations is designed to maximize the amounts allocated based upon client caseload. Additionally, this allocation plan incorporates the required distributions defined in the appropriations act, proviso, or accompanying implementing bill. As instructed by proviso language, a portion of these funds must be distributed to the regions based upon achieved performance. Further, all funds distributed under this proposed plan, including the Non-Custodial initiatives, will be based upon actual achieved performance outcomes. Regional TANF Distributions for Fiscal Year 2015/16 Since the state workforce board s inception in July 2000, the board has transitioned the historical TANF (Welfare Transition) allocation formula (based only on the cash assistance caseload) to a 50/50 allocation formula 50% of the available funds are allocated to regional workforce boards based upon their share of the number of children within households receiving food stamps, and the remaining 50% based upon cash assistance caseload, or TANF households with an adult member. The data on numbers of children receiving food stamps and the cash assistance caseload are available from Department of Children and Families. In calculating the 2015/16 distributions, the board applied a 90% hold harmless provision to ensure that no region would face an inordinate shift or reduction of funds from the prior fiscal year due to shifts in data used in the funding methodology. This is the same hold harmless provision required under the WIOA Adult and Youth programs, which calculates a two-year average percentage for each region and assures they will not receive less than 90% of that average. Using these amounts and assuming no additional changes in the allocation methodology, the total amounts by region are reflected on the attached chart titled Program Year 2015 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Regional Workforce Board Formula Allocations. * * * * * * * * * * * NEEDED ACTION Approval of the allocation methodology as proposed for the distribution of TANF funding for Fiscal Year 2015/16. Additionally, to authorize flexibility by the President and Treasurer to adjust actual spending categories and regional allocations as necessary within the total approved budget. 24

29 Action Item 1, Continued WAGNER-PEYSER (W-P) * * * * * * * * * * * FEDERAL AWARD FY FOR WAGNER-PEYSER $38,350,606 (Prior Year $38,551,390) Statutory Reference: Wagner-Peyser Act of 1933, 48 Stat.113 as amended, Public Law ; Workforce Investment Act of 1998; Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of Grantor Agency: USDOL Grant Program Objectives: To place persons in employment by providing a variety of placementrelated services without charge to job seekers and to employers seeking qualified individuals to fill job openings. Description of the Grant Program: The Wagner-Peyser Act of 1933 established a nationwide system of public employment offices known as the Employment Service. The Wagner-Peyser Act was amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014, making the Employment Service part of the one-stop delivery system. Employment services are an integral part of the one-stop delivery system that provides an integrated array of high-quality services so that workers, job seekers and businesses can find the services they need under one roof in easy-to-reach locations. Employment services include a variety of services related to a labor exchange system including job search assistance, referral and placement assistance to job seekers, reemployment services to unemployment insurance claimants and recruitment services to employers with job openings. Services may be delivered through self-service, facilitated self-help services and staff-assisted services. Also available may be core services, such as an assessment of skill levels, abilities and aptitudes; career guidance when appropriate; job search workshops; and referral to training as appropriate. The services offered to employers, in addition to referral of job seekers to job openings, include matching job requirements with job seeker experience, skills and other attributes, helping with special recruitment needs, helping employers analyze hard-tofill job orders, assisting with job restructuring and helping employers address layoffs. Description of Process Used to Allocate Available Grant Funds: Wagner-Peyser 7(a) Funds As shown on the chart, CareerSource Florida and the Department of Economic Opportunity reserve less than 10% of the 7(a) grant funds ($2,818,672) for state-level program operations and administration. More than 92% ($31,696,873) of these funds are available to support onestop program services at the local level. 28

30 The allocation of Wagner-Peyser funding to local boards is based on the federal formula used to distribute grant funds among the states. The formula is: 2/3 based on the relative share of the state s civilian labor force (based on an annualized average) 1/3 based on the relative share of the state s number of unemployed individuals (based on an annualized average) Total PY 2015 WP 7(a) $34,515,545 RWB Salaries and Pass-Through (27,349,704) Labor Exchange System (3,980,283) RWB Insurance and HR Fees (366,886) Remaining for State-Level Administration $2,818,672 Wagner-Peyser 7(b) Funds - Section 7(b) of the Wagner-Peyser Act reserves 10% (or $3,835,061) of the available grant funds allocated to Florida ($38,350,606) for use by this board for state-level activities including special projects and performance incentives. The remaining grant funds are available for additional eligible activities. Total PY 2015 WP 7(b) $3,835,061 Plus Est. Bal. of Unreserved W-P 7(b) Funds 1,201,709 Total WP 7(b) Funds Available $5,036,770 The following recommendations are presented to the board for the establishment of reserves and commitments for incentives and business outreach efforts for 2015/16. Regional Performance Incentives ($2,250,000) Over the past year CareerSource Florida, through a collaborative statewide process, has designed a data-driven, outcome-based Performance Funding Model for the CareerSource Florida network that will inform policy discussions and decisions, align resources to shared goals, reward excellence and showcase improvement through a series of critical metrics. This model has formed the basis for the awarding of annual regional performance incentives and reflects essential system-wide success indicators that align with both state and regional priorities. Performance will be awarded based on the TIE Model Target, Improve and Excel. Long-horizon metrics and shorthorizon metrics are being developed for job placements, employer engagement, cost of doing business, and customer satisfaction. These metrics are being designed at the regional level with full collaboration across all 24 local workforce boards. This funding recommendation would be used to implement the new Performance Funding Model and drive the types of outcomes the CareerSource Florida Network needs for Florida to become the global leader for talent. Integrated Communications CareerSource Florida and Statewide ($1,275,000) Each year the state board approves funding administered by its staff to advance the mission and outreach of the organization and system through integrated communications. This funding request represents continuation funding, providing resources to maintain statewide advertising and essential integrated 29

31 communications support services for the state board. This investment supports CareerSource Floridaled efforts in public relations, media relations, public affairs, social media and advertising, among others. Advertising remains a critical investment especially in a state as large and diverse as Florida in order to raise awareness and increase the use of resources available statewide to address the employment and training needs of job seekers, workers and employers. Now, with the activation of the unified brand, and building on the brand implementation success, CareerSource Florida has an unprecedented opportunity to further leverage statewide advertising dollars through state-directed and regional cooperative campaigns. These funds advance CareerSource Florida s efforts to build and maintain brand consistency through the development of shared resources such as the online brand portal, which provides time-saving and money-saving brand templates and tools for use by workforce partners statewide, as well as competitively procured services to enhance the communications efforts of the CareerSource Florida professional team. Through contracted services, the CareerSource Florida professional team, which works to meet statewide demands, receives support services that include, but are not limited to, media relations, public relations, strategic communications, content creation, graphic design, digital media outreach and advertising creative development and placement services. The current firm of record for CareerSource Florida is Tallahassee-based Moore Communications Group. Youth Outreach Efforts Florida Trend NEXT ($296,000) Consistent with the CareerSource Florida network s priority for developing the skills for Florida youth to prepare them for college or careers, Florida Trend s NEXT magazine serves as an outstanding tool to inform and educate Florida youth (ages 15-18) about career, education and training opportunities available to them in their home state. CareerSource Florida is the annual sponsor of the publication, which is written about and for Florida high school students. CareerSource Florida s support enables distribution to 250,000 high school students and allows the state workforce system to directly inform Florida students about the Employ Florida Marketplace at EmployFlorida.com and other CareerSource Florida network resources available to assist them in their career preparation and job search efforts. Florida Trend s print-run includes 4,800 copies for distribution through Florida s 24 regional workforce boards and their career centers. For its investment, CareerSource Florida also receives advertising for the system on the FloridaTrend.com websites, in its e-newsletters and in its main monthly business publication, Florida Trend magazine. Other Business Outreach Initiatives ($375,000) Staff recommends approval for sustained funding for a variety of initiatives under the broad category of business outreach. These uses are consistent with both state law priorities under Chapter 445, as they relate to facilitating business awareness and access to workers from special population groups (e.g., youth, veterans, older workers, disabled) as well as by addressing workforce needs in targeted industry sector groups. Among the areas that are funded through this reserve are partnership programs with faith-based or community-based organizations, the annual workforce summit, regional workforce board and economic development partnerships and workforce workshops. This funding also may be used to support cooperative outreach efforts to leverage state and regional resources for enhancing services to business services. Military Family Employment Advocacy Program ($828,063) The Military Family Employment Advocacy Program (MFEAP) was established by Section , F.S., to provide employment advocates and services at Florida career centers in regions with high military populations associated with military bases. Persons eligible for assistance through this program include spouses and dependents of active-duty military personnel; activated National Guard members; and activated military reservists 30

32 located in Florida. CareerSource Florida has allocated Wagner-Peyser 7(b) funds to Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 15 and 23 since fiscal year to keep this successful program operational. There are approximately 49,000 military spouses, including spouses of mobilized National Guard members, who currently reside in Florida, and 60 percent of them live in these regions. The current funding helps facilitate the work of 10 MFEAP Advocates currently assigned to career centers in Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach, Panama City, Jacksonville, Cocoa, Tampa Bay and Miami/Dade. The MFEAP Advocate s sole focus is to assist active duty military spouses and dependents in obtaining and retaining gainful employment. Many of the advocates are co-located at Family Support Centers within the military bases. Advocates frequently participate in welcome events and briefings for newly stationed families as well as area job fairs held throughout the region. Specific services provided by the program include, but are not limited to, job search assistance; placement assistance; career planning and counseling; case management; resume assistance; assessment and testing services; interviewing skills training; referrals to educational and training programs; job fairs; and job clubs. In conjunction with each region s Business Services Center, services are also provided to employers seeking to hire military family members, including on-site visits with employers to refer applicants and deliver employment packages. A significant number of military family members have been served by staff funded through this program. The chart below shows the five-year performance of the program, noting that in 2014/15 performance is available only for a six-month period until the conclusion of the current fiscal year. The success of the program is particularly notable given the challenges faced by military family members, such as frequent relocations, recurring deployments, and lengthy periods of separation during times of conflict. This situation, coupled with the recognition that some employers are primarily interested in employees who can make long-term employment commitments, limits the availability of employment opportunities for military family members. Despite such challenges, the MFEAP has been successful in helping military family members obtain employment. Program Year (PY) # Participants Served # Participant Services Entered Employment Rate , , % , , % , ,433 57% , ,083 61% (2 quarters) 7,359 90, % It is recommended that funding for the Military Family Employment Advocacy Program be continued in 2015/16 to assist military spouses and other eligible family members in obtaining gainful employment to help improve the quality of life and financial health of Florida military families. DEO, which manages the program, requests $828,063 in Wagner-Peyser 7(b) funds to continue the program for the

33 fiscal year. The allocation of funds will support regional budget requests, totaling $770,998, while keeping DEO level-funded at $57,065. Wagner-Peyser 7(b) Funding Summary In the event the foregoing reserves and commitments are approved by the board, an estimated balance of $174,382 will remain as a budget reserve or available to the CareerSource Florida professional team to fund other initiatives and projects during the course of the year. Please note this amount is an estimate because certain current year funds may not be available for carry-forward purposes or allocated funds may not be expended at the level expected during the fiscal year.

37 Action Item 1, continued COMBINED VETERANS PROGRAMS (DVOP and LVER) * * * * * * * * * * * ESTIMATED FEDERAL AWARD FY 2015/16 FOR DVOP and LVER $ 11,485,000 (Prior Year Actual $11,485,000) Statutory Reference: Grantor Agency: Jobs for Veterans Act (Public Law ); Title 38, United States Code (USC), Chapters 41-42, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act (Public Law ); Title 38, USC, Chapter 31; Servicemen s Readjustment Act of USDOL Grant Program Objectives: To develop jobs and job training opportunities for disabled and other veterans through contacts with employers; promote and develop on-the-job training and apprenticeship and other on-the-job training positions within federal job training programs (e.g. Veterans Workforce Investment Program, Veterans Affairs programs); provide outreach to veterans through all community agencies and organizations; provide assistance to community-based groups and organizations and appropriate grantees under other federal and federally funded employment and training programs; develop linkages with other agencies to promote maximum employment opportunities for veterans; and to provide employability development and vocational guidance to eligible veterans, especially disabled veterans, utilizing a case-management approach to services wherever applicable. To provide job development, placement and support services directly to veterans and to ensure there is local supervision of State Employment Agencies compliance with federal regulations, performance standards and grant agreement provisions in carrying out requirements of 38 U.S.C in providing veterans with maximum employment and training opportunities. Description and Limitations of the Grant Program: Funds must be used only for salaries and expenses necessary to reasonably support veterans program staff who shall be assigned only those duties directly related to meeting the employment needs of eligible veterans according to the provisions of 38 U.S.C. 4103A. Description of Process Used to Allocate Available Grant Funds: Funding for this program is expected to exceed the local requirements for this year. The allocation methodology of Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP)/Local Veterans Employment Representative (LVER) funds to regional workforce boards is therefore based on the staffing cost needs of each board for approved DVOP/LVER positions and related costs to support these positions. Local boards may request additional positions or pass-through funding through the DEO program office. Funding for dedicated Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program (VR&E) and the Incarcerated Veterans Transition Program (IV-TP), as negotiated by DEO with the USDOL, will not be included in the affected regional boards DVOP/LVER annual awards. These funds will be 36

38 separately awarded. In addition, 1 percent of the total Veterans grant award has been reserved for required performance incentives. As needed, DEO will consult with the CareerSource Florida professional team and reallocate any funding that is no longer needed for the original purpose to other allowable uses within the program. * * * * * * * * * * * NEEDED ACTION Approval of the state and regional DVOP and LVER allocation methodology for state Fiscal Year 2015/16 with authority given to the CareerSource Florida professional team and Department of Economic Opportunity staff to reallocate funds that may become available due to deobligations or a changes in original need. 37

39 Action Item 1, continued SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM EMPLOYMENT & TRAINING PROGRAM (SNAP E&T) (Formerly known as Food Stamp Employment & Training Program FSET) * * * * * * * * * * * ESTIMATED FEDERAL AWARD FY 2015/16 FOR SNAP E&T PROGRAM $10,260,616 (Prior Year Actual 2014/15 $10,260,616) Statutory Reference: Food Stamp Act of 1977, as amended, Section 16, Public Law , 91 Stat. 958, 7 U.S.C. 2025; Public Law , Public Law , Public Law Grantor Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Grant Program Objectives: To provide federal financial aid to state agencies for costs incurred to operate Employment and Training Program for Food Stamp recipients. The Department of Children and Families is the state s recipient of federal grant funds for the Food Stamp Program. DEO operates the SNAP E&T Program directly for USDA. Description and Limitations of the Grant Program: By April 1, 1987, all states were to implement a Food Stamp Employment Training (E&T) Program as mandated by Public Law The state agency is responsible for reimbursing participants for expenses incurred in fulfilling E&T requirements. Expenditures that may be included in this category are transportation, dependent care, books or training manuals, uniforms or other special equipment that a participant must have for participation and any other necessary and reasonable cost that a participant incurs. Participant reimbursements must be paid for with the 50/50 percent federal grant. State E&T Plans are not approvable unless USDA receives assurance that participant reimbursement funds are available. The Balanced Budget Act (Public Law ) provides additional funding (100 percent grant) for grants to states for work/training programs generally targeted for non-working able-bodied adults without dependents. These grants do not require a match. Description of Process Used to Allocate Available Grant Funds: The SNAP E&T Program operates on the federal fiscal year and a new state plan is needed for the new federal year that will begin October 1, Due to past high unemployment rates, Florida received a waiver to exempt all counties from mandatory participation in this program, also known as waived state status, until December 31, For the period beginning January 1, 2016, Florida has been advised that the state will be on a mandatory participation basis. Therefore, for the period, July 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015, staff recommends funding 38

40 currently participating RWBs on a needs basis to continue their operation of a volunteer program through the end of the year; and, as needed, provide funding to those RWBs currently not participating to conduct any necessary planning and preparatory work required to be ready to operate a mandatory program effective January 1, For the period January 1, 2016, through June 30, 2016, staff recommends allocating available funding to the RWBs based on the work-based formula of the relative share of the number of Able-Bodied Adults without Dependents (using the most recent month s statistic available from the Florida Department of Children and Families). As needed, DEO will reallocate any of the funding initially reserved for state-level operations or for a workforce board that no longer needs the funding to other boards in need of additional resources. * * * * * * * * * * * NEEDED ACTION Approval of the methodology to allocate SNAP 100% funds to the regional workforce boards for fiscal year 2015/2016, and authorize the CareerSource Florida professional team and DEO staff to make funding shifts among workforce boards, CareerSource Florida and DEO to maximize utilization of available SNAP E&T funds during the year. 39

41 Action Item 1, Continued REEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE (RA) SERVICES * * * * * * * * * * * FEDERAL AWARD FOR RA SERVICES - FY Year 2015/16 $2,000,000 (Prior Year 2014/15 - $3,000,000) Statutory Reference: Grantor Agency: Social Security Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C , ; Trade Act of 1974, as amended, Public Law , 88 Stat. 2024, 19 U.S.C. 2311; Federal Unemployment Tax Act, as amended, 26 U.S.C note; Federal Employees and Ex-Service Members, 5 U.S.C and 8521; Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended, Public Law , 88 Stat. 153, 42 U.S.C USDOL Grant Program Objectives: To administer the state s program of unemployment insurance for eligible workers through federal and state cooperation; to administer payment of trade adjustment assistance; disaster unemployment assistance; unemployment compensation for federal employees and ex-service members. Description and Limitations of the Grant Program: Funds are provided to support local career center staff who assist customers with filing Reemployment Assistance initial and continuing claims via the state s online system. Funds available are reduced as a result of the overall reduction in workload given the state s drop in the unemployment rate. Description of Process Used to Allocate Available Grant Funds: Funds are directly distributed to regional workforce boards based on the following work-based formula: 100% based on the relative share of the state s number of RA claims (based on an annualized average) * * * * * * * * * * * NEEDED ACTION Approval of the regional Reemployment Assistance Services fund allocations for state Fiscal Year 2015/16 with authority given to DEO and the CareerSource Florida professional team to reallocate such funds between workforce regions as needed. 40

42 Action Item 1, Continued BUDGET IMPLEMENTING ACTIONS NEEDED For Fiscal Year 2015/16 * * * * * * * * * * * Quick Response Training Grant Program The Quick Response Training (QRT) grant program is funded by state funds and is defined in the General Appropriations Act and/or substantive legislation. For the fiscal year, funding for the QRT grant program was appropriated to CareerSource Florida in the amount of $12,000,000. Additional first-time funding totaling $100,000 was appropriated to CareerSource Florida to market and promote QRT. The proposed appropriations bills that passed in both chambers during the regular 2015 legislative session had the same level of funding for each of these categories. Due to a budget impasse between the two chambers, we do not have final appropriation amounts for the fiscal year. We are recommending the board approve a continuation budget with the authority for the President and Treasurer to make adjustments to these spending levels when the final General Appropriations Act is signed into law. Individual Training Account (ITA) Waiver for Fiscal Year 2015/16 Florida Statutes states that at least 50% of the Title I funds for Adults and Dislocated Workers that are passed through to regional workforce boards must be allocated to and expended on Individual Training Accounts. The law also allows a regional workforce board to request and obtain a waiver relating to the 50% requirement from CareerSource Florida. The CareerSource Florida professional team recommends continuing the same policy as was approved in the previous fiscal year. The ITA waiver policy would allow for regions to select a waiver percentage based on two options: 1) additional one-year extensions of their approved ITA percentage, or 2) a sliding scale ITA percentage based on their reduced funding levels (WIOA, WP, and TANF) as compared to fiscal year 2012/13 (the year in which Florida implemented the new statutory requirement of 50% ITA expenditures). Regional workforce boards may request a percentage between the statutorily required amount of 50% and the lowest option available. For example, a region may be eligible for a waiver that would reduce its required ITA percentage to 35%. However, the region may want its waiver percentage to be at some higher level, such as 42%. Under this scenario, the region would request a 42% waiver. Regional workforce boards will submit waiver requests to CareerSource Florida including an explanation of their waiver request amount. The CareerSource Florida professional team will send the results of the sliding scale calculation and instructions to regional workforce boards outlining the specific information that will need to be included in such requests. If a region does not request a waiver percentage based on this policy, it will be required to either meet the statutorily required ITA percentage (50%) or submit a full waiver request under the board s existing ITA Waiver Policy. All full waiver requests will be submitted to the CareerSource Florida Executive Committee for approval or denial. 41

43 * * * * * * * * * NEEDED ACTION To approve the Individual Training Account optional waiver policy. In addition, to approve Quick Response Training grant program funding as described above. Finally, to provide authorization for the President and Treasurer to adjust actual spending categories for the Quick Response Training grant program in the event appropriated amounts are different from prior year. 42
