Adult (WIOA)

Definition of Economic Self-Sufficiency and Income Exclusions

Summary
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires Dislocated Worker and WIOA Adult program operators to provide workforce development activities that increase economic self-sufficiency for participants. Self-sufficiency must also be taken into account to determine a participant's eligibility for training services; and if a training service will lead a participant to self-sufficient employment. This policy establishes Minnesota’s definition of “self-sufficiency” and “low income”.
