I.Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to outline requirements of the local
workforce development board (WDB) and American Jobs Centers (in Ohio, called the
OhioMeansJobs centers) for implementation of priority of service to veterans and
eligible spouses for all U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) funded training programs.

ODJFS, Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act Policy Letter No. 15-20.1, Priority of Service
for Veterans and Eligible Spouses (August 18, 2017).
IV.Background
On November 7, 2002, the Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA), Public Law
(P.L.) 107-288 was signed into law. One provision of the JVA, codified at 38 U.S.C.
4215, establishes a priority of service requirement for covered persons in qualified
job training programs. While recipients of DOL funds for qualified job training
programs have been required to provide priority of service since 2002, the publication
of 20 C.F.R. Part 1010, Priority of Service for Covered Persons; Final Rule, which
took effect on January 19, 2009, signaled that recipients of DOL funds for these
job training programs should review and, if necessary, enhance their current policies
and procedures to ensure that adequate protocols are in place.

VI.Requirements
Priority of service means that covered persons are given priority
over non-covered persons for the receipt of employment, training, and placement
services funded in whole or in part by DOL, including Wagner-Peyser, Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA), Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, Senior Community Service
Employment Program, Indian and Native American Programs, Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers,
Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development Competitive Grants, and National
Dislocated Worker Grants. All DOL funded grant recipients must implement and comply
with locally developed priority of service policies. All program operators are required
to ensure that priority of service is applied to all subrecipients of DOL funds.
A.Development
of a Local Priority of Service Policy
Each local WDB is required to develop a priority of service policy
that includes, but is not limited to, the following criteria:
1.How the local
workforce development area (local area) will ensure veterans and eligible spouses
are notified of their entitlement to priority of service, the full array of employment,
training, and placement services available, and applicable eligibility requirements
for programs and services.
2.How the local
area will assist individuals in identifying themselves as veterans or eligible spouses
at the point of entry to the system or priority.
3.How the local
area will monitor the area's implementation of priority of service, including how
monitoring is a shared responsibility between the Ohio Department of Job and Family
Services (ODJFS) program delivery managers, local area, and OhioMeansJobs center's
operator.
Physical copies of the local priority of service policy shall be
maintained at all service delivery points, including the OhioMeansJobs center, and
to the extent practicable, must be posted in a way that makes it possible for members
of the general public easy access to them. An electronic version of the local policy
must also be available on the local area’s and/or center’s website. Furthermore,
OhioMeansJobs center staff must be trained on the implementation of priority of
service for veterans and eligible spouses.
B.Notification
of Priority of Service
Within the local priority of service policy, local workforce development
areas must develop and implement processes to notify covered persons who physically
access the OhioMeansJobs centers or who access the program through the internet
with timely and useful information on priority of service. This is accomplished
in a number of ways:
1.Awareness through
posters and handouts strategically placed at the OhioMeansJobs centers to alert
covered persons of their priority of service rights.
2.Notification and
description of priority of service rights as well as access to the state policy
should be addressed or provided on the local area’s and/or the OhioMeansJobs center’s
website(s). The following veteran resources and information must also be contained
on these websites:
a.Links to the following
websites:
i.ODJFS Veterans
Workforce Services: https://jfs.ohio.gov/veterans/index.stm;
ii.OhioMeansVeteranJobs
(OMVJ): www.ohiomeansveteranjobs.com;
iii.Ohio Department
of Veteran Services: http://dvs.ohio.gov/;
iv.Department of
Higher Education, Ohio GI Promise: https://www.ohiohighered.org/node/258;
v.Department of
Veteran Affairs: https://www.va.gov/; and
vi.Department of
Labor, Jobs for Veterans Act: https://www.doleta.gov/programs/vets/;
b.Narrative describing
the State Veterans Program and all resources available at the OhioMeansJobs center
and the local area. There should not be any reference to the name and contact information
for the DVOP;
c.Any upcoming events,
job fairs, and hiring events, including those specific to the veteran population;
and
d.Any veteran success
stories or testimonies.
3.Orientations,
both in-person or electronically (including local websites) must include a reference
to priority of service rights.
4.Assurances that
labor exchange activities and services, including posting of and searching for resumes
and jobs and job matching are completed in OhioMeansJobs.com per Workforce Innovation
and Opportunity Act Policy Letter (WIOAPL) No. 16-12, Mandate Use of OhioMeansJobs.com, and are given priority of service.
5.Descriptions of
how partner program staff within the OhioMeansJobs centers and at other service
delivery points are made aware of priority of service requirements. This must be
accomplished at both the state and local levels through partner meetings, trainings,
and other types of communication such as information sheet or desk aid, self-service
kiosks, and information bulletin boards.
It should be noted that a clause pertaining to priority of service
is included in the OhioMeansJobs center's Memorandum of Understanding template and
must be utilized by all local workforce development areas. Priority of service is
also and will continue to be addressed in all DOL funded employment and training
program grant agreements.
C.Identifying
Veterans and Eligible Spouses
The local area must enable veterans and eligible spouses to identify
themselves at the point of entry to the system or program. Point of entry may include
reception through an OhioMeansJobs center, as part of an application process for
a specific program, or through any other method by which veterans and eligible spouses
express an interest in receiving services, either in-person or virtually. The local
area's policy must include processes to ensure that covered persons are identified
at the point of entry for services, the full array of programs and services available
to them, any applicable eligibility requirements for those programs and/or services,
and given an opportunity to take full advantage of priority of service.
D.Monitoring
Implementation of Priority of Service
The implementation of priority of service impacts most services at
the OhioMeansJobs centers. As such, it is the responsibility of multiple programs
to ensure that veterans and eligible spouses are aware of the benefits of priority
of service; that veterans and eligible spouses are identified at the point of program
entry; and that priority of service is applied throughout their respective service
delivery systems. At the local level, the ODJFS program delivery managers, local
areas, and OhioMeansJobs centers' operators will coordinate and share monitoring
responsibilities. These monitoring responsibilities include a review of the implementation
of internal policies and procedures and how these procedures result in compliance
with the priority of service requirements. As such, the local priority of service
policy must outline how this shared responsibility will be coordinated and administered.
E.Applying
Priority of Service
The OhioMeansJobs centers are to apply the priority of service definition
to all covered persons who access the workforce system through the OhioMeansJobs
centers. A covered person is entitled to priority of service under any qualified
job training program if the person otherwise meets the eligibility requirements
for participation in such program. Priority of service gives veterans and eligible
spouses the right to take precedence over non-covered persons in obtaining services.
Depending on the type of service or resource being provided, taking precedence may
mean:
1.A veteran or an
eligible spouse either receives access to a service earlier in time than a non-covered
person; or
2.If the service
or resource is limited, the veteran or eligible spouse receives access to the service
instead of or before the non-covered person.
F.Determination
of Veteran Status
The local area must have a policy outlining the procedure whereby
veterans and eligible spouses are identified at the point of entry.
1.Covered person
with significant barrier to employment
During the initial intake processes with a customer, staff shall
further explore the covered person's veteran status (e.g., number of days served
and discharge status) and assess whether or not the covered person has a significant
barrier to employment using the JFS 01863, Veteran Questionnaire. A covered person
is determined to have a significant barrier to employment if he or she attests to
meeting one or more of the following criteria:
a.A special disabled
or disabled veteran (or an individual who has a disability claim pending with the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA);
b.A homeless individual;
c.A recently-separated
service member who has been unemployed for 27 or more weeks in the previous 12 months;
d.An offender who
is currently incarcerated or has been released from incarceration;
e.An individual
who lacks a high school diploma or equivalent certificate;
f.A low income
individual; or
g.A veteran of the
Vietnam Era (February 28, 1961 to May 7, 1975).
If the covered person has at least one significant barrier to employment
and meets the definition of eligible veteran or eligible spouse for the Jobs for
Veterans State Grant (JVSG) program, the OhioMeansJobs center staff shall refer
this individual to the JVSG program.
OhioMeansJobs center staff shall also refer an eligible veteran age
18 to 24 years to the JVSG program as this population of veterans has experienced
a higher rate of unemployment than other veterans as well as nonveterans of the
same age. These eligible veterans may need and benefit from the intensive services
provided by a DVOP specialist.
2.Transitioning
Service Member
The Veterans' Employment and Training Service has also identified
the following three categories of transitioning service members as eligible to receive
JVSG services and a referral shall be made:
a.Transitioning
service members who are age 18 to 24 years old.
b.Transitioning
service members who have been identified as in need of intensive services because
they were assessed as not meeting career readiness standards as documented on the
DD-2958, Service Member Career Readiness Standards/Individual Transition Plan.
c.Active duty service
members being involuntarily separated through a service reduction-in-force.
3.Wounded, Ill,
or Injured Service Member
Additionally, members of the Armed Forces who are wounded, ill, or
injured and receiving treatment in military treatment facilities or warrior transition
units or the spouses or other family caregivers of such wounded, ill, or injured
members are to be referred to the JVSG program.
If the covered person, transitioning service member, or wounded,
ill, or injured member of the Armed Forces (or spouse or family caregiver of such)
does not meet the criteria for the JVSG program as outlined above, then the individual
may still be provided career and/or training services through Wagner-Peyser or WIOA
funded programs, based upon eligibility and suitability.
G.Referral
to the Jobs for Veterans State Grant (JVSG) Program
If the individual meets the definition of eligible veteran for the
JVSG program or is an eligible spouse, has at least one significant barrier to employment,
or is aged 18 to 24 years, the OhioMeansJobs center staff shall refer this covered
person to the JVSG program. A covered person should also be referred to the JVSG
program if the covered person is later, after further assessment, determined by
OhioMeansJobs center staff to have a significant barrier to employment.
Furthermore, transitioning service members who are 18 to 24 years
old or who have been identified as needing intensive services on the DD-2958, or
active duty service members being involuntarily separated through a service reduction-in-force
will be referred to the JVSG program. Referrals to the JVSG program will also be
made for those members of the Armed Forces who are wounded, ill, or injured and
receiving treatment in military treatment facilities or warrior transition units
or the spouses or other family caregivers of such wounded, ill, or injured members.
Within the JVSG program, the DVOP specialist will provide basic and
individualized career services to mitigate significant barriers to employment and
transition these individuals into the civilian workforce. The DVOP specialist also
coordinates with the ODJFS workforce specialists to match covered persons with job
opportunities.
JVSG participants later found to be dishonorably discharged from
the military must be referred back to the OhioMeansJobs center for further Wagner-Peyser
Employment Services and/or WIOA basic career, individualized career, and/or training
services. These individuals do not qualify for priority of service.
Local areas must establish effective linkages with the State JVSG
program staff, for two-way referrals of individuals for services.
H.Documenting
Veteran Status
It is not necessary for OhioMeansJobs center staff to require verification
of the status of a covered person at the point of entry, unless the individual who
self-identifies as a veteran or eligible spouse:
1.Is to immediately
undergo eligibility determination and be registered or enrolled in a program; and
2.Is registering
or enrolling in a program for which the applicable federal program rules require
verification of veteran or eligible spouse status at that time.
Even in those instances in which eligibility determination and enrollment
occur at the point of entry, a covered person must be enrolled, be provided immediate
priority, and be permitted to follow-up subsequently with any required verification
of his or her status as a covered person.
For programs or services that cannot rely on self-attestation, verification
of veteran status (e.g., DD-214, cross match with veterans' data, or letter from
Veteran Administration) must be provided prior to the provision of intensive services
or the commitment to training services.
For a referral to the JVSG program, documentation of the significant
barrier to service is preferred. However, customers may qualify through self-attestation.
A self-attestation checklist identifying the significant barriers may be added as
part of the intake or assessment process. Any written questionnaire used for identifying
a significant barrier must make clear that the information requested is intended
for use solely in connection with efforts to give priority to persons with disabilities.
If written questionnaires are not used, this information must be made clear orally.
The OhioMeansJobs center staff seeking the information must state clearly that the
information is being requested on a voluntary basis, that it will be kept confidential,
that refusal to provide the information will not subject the applicant or participant
to any adverse treatment, and that it will be used only in accordance with law.
I.Priority
of Service for Programs
The application of priority of service varies by program depending
on the eligibility requirements of the particular program. Qualified job training
programs fall into two basic categories:
1.Universal access
programs: For workforce programs that operate or deliver services to the public
as a whole without targeting specific groups, veterans and eligible spouses must
receive priority of service over all other program participants (e.g., basic career
services delivered through the OhioMeansJobs centers under Wagner-Peyser and WIOA
programs).
2.Programs with
Eligibility Criteria: Eligibility criteria identify basic conditions that each and
every participant in a specific program is required to meet. Veterans and eligible
spouses must first meet any and all of the statutory eligibility criteria in order
to be considered eligible for:
a.Enrollment in
the program;
b.Receipt of priority
for enrollment in the program; and
c.Priority of receipt
of services.
When a program has statutory eligibility requirements, priority means
that covered persons take precedence, with all other qualifying eligibility requirements
being equal, over non-covered persons in obtaining services and program enrollment.
J.Programs
with Statutory Priorities
In addition to eligibility criteria that all participants are required
to meet, some programs also have priorities that establish a rank order to be observed
in enrolling or serving participants.
Priority for WIOA adult-funded individualized career and training
services is given to low-income individuals, recipients of public assistance, and
individuals who are basic skills deficient. When determining if a veteran or eligible
spouse is a "low income individual" for eligibility purposes, amounts
paid while on active duty or paid by the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) for
vocational rehabilitation, disability, or related VA-funded programs are not to
be considered as income. A low income veteran or eligible spouse takes precedence,
with all other qualifying requirements being equal, over a low income non-covered
person in obtaining individualized career services and training services.
This does not allow for "bumping" of non-covered persons
who had previously been accepted into a program prior to the covered person applying
within the same program. However, if there is a waiting list, the veterans or eligible
spouses receive access to the service instead of or before the non-covered person
on the waiting list.
K.Programs
with Discretionary Priorities
The local area may not apply additional arbitrary or discretionary
conditions or requirements above the program's statutory mandated eligibility requirements
to priority of service rights. Therefore, for covered persons, priority of service
applies to discretionary targeting programs and services the same way that it applies
to universal access programs (i.e., veterans and eligible spouses are served first).
L.Priority
of Service for Programs Administered by State Merit Staff
For DOL funded employment and training programs administered by state
merit staff (i.e., TAA, REA, UCRS), eligibility for priority of service should be
determined at the initiation of services or upon referral of services, whichever
occurs first.
VII.Data Collection
Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 10-09 provides
direction regarding the collection of data for serving veterans and eligible spouses
and the implementation of priority of service. The local areas must ensure that
all appropriate information regarding identified veterans or eligible spouses has
been entered in Ohio Workforce Case Management System (OWCMS).
VIII. Monitoring
At the local level, the area's priority of service policy must contain
criteria for local monitoring of the implementation of priority of service to ensure
that covered persons are made aware of and afforded priority of service.
Through the state's monitoring system, program monitors will review
the area's implementation of priority of service during the annual onsite monitoring
review for compliance with the local policy as well as federal laws and regulations.
Any compliance issues will be handled through the state's findings resolution process.
