                   RESPONSE:

 

Yes. The Jobs for Veterans Act is currently in effect.

Yes.

 

        Effect on the Dislocated Worker Demonstration Grants Program Operations

 

 

14DWDEMO.   Is there impact on the ability to co-enroll a participant where this is necessary and feasible? What happens, for instance, if the Dislocated Worker Demonstration Grants Program wants to co-enroll a non-veteran participant into another program, but the other program has veterans ahead of him or her in the eligibility line?

 

                   RESPONSE:

 

No impact would be expected to occur.

 

15DWDEMO.   How will registration, record-keeping, and reporting for the Dislocated Worker Demonstration Grants Program be affected?

 

                   RESPONSE:

 

As indicated earlier, grantees and project operators/service providers will be required to collect data on veterans' status and to report such data, along with other demographic data already collected.

 

16DWDEMO.   How will the veterans' priority affect any request for proposal (RFPs), Solicitations for Grant Award (SGAs), program sub-grants, subcontracts, or memoranda of understanding or other service provision agreements with Dislocated Worker Demonstration Grants Program vendors, contractors, and partners (required and otherwise)?

 

                   RESPONSE:

 

                        Veterans' priority requirements will be included in all documents, as appropriate.

 

17DWDEMO.   Will the Dislocated Worker Demonstration Grants Program outreach efforts, written materials on available services and Web sites have to express and implement a priority of service to veterans?

 

                   RESPONSE:

 

Yes.

QUESTIONS RECEIVED FROM PROGRAM OPERATORS OF
Dislocated Worker National Emergency Grant Program AND ANSWERS PROVIDED

NOTE: For ease of reference (away from the context of this Web site) the number of each question from program operators is not only followed by the acronym of the asking program, but also by the initials ff (as in "from field"). Example: The first question in the series of those received from a program operator under the WIA Adult and Dislocated Workers program would be 1ADW. The first question in the series of those received from a grantee or program operator under a National Emergency Grant would appear as 1NEG.
