  (1) The Department provides services to eligible clients under the authority granted in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, (WIOA) 20 CFR 610 allowing states to select a one-stop operator through a sole source selection. Funding is provided by the federal government through the WIOA. Utah is required to file a State Plan to obtain the funding. A copy of the State Plan is available at Department administrative offices and on the Internet. The regulations contained in 20 CFR 603, 20 CFR 651 through 20 CFR 652, 20 CFR 676 through 20 CFR 678 (2016) are also applicable.

  (2) The provisions of Rule R986-100 apply to WIOA unless expressly noted otherwise in these rules even though R986-100 refers to public assistance and WIOA funding does not meet the technical definition of public assistance. The residency requirements of R986-100-106 and the additional penalty under R986-100-118 do not apply.
