2.4.3 Required Co-Enrollment with the WIOA Dislocated Worker Program

Effective August 1, 2021

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program participants who are eligible for the WIOA Dislocated Worker Program must be co-enrolled in the Dislocated Worker Program unless the TAA participant declines co-enrollment.¹ TAA career planners must inform all TAA Program participants of the option to co-enroll in the Dislocated Worker Program and the benefits of co-enrollment, and must connect them with the appropriate local Dislocated Worker Program staff if they are interested in co-enrollment² and not already enrolled. This notification, and the result of such notification, including whether the participant will pursue or decline co-enrollment, must be clearly documented in ASSET case notes and a Referral service must be entered in ASSET.

DWD-DET, including any staff directly administering the TAA Program, cannot deny any TAA Program benefits or services to participants who decline co-enrollment with the Dislocated Worker Program.³

Dislocated Worker Program staff will determine each individual's eligibility for the Dislocated Worker Program. Most TAA Program participants will meet the Dislocated Worker Program eligibility criteria. However, some may be ineligible for the Dislocated Worker Program, including those who do not meet the Selective Service registration requirement, and will therefore be exempt from the co-enrollment requirement.⁴

Co-enrollment is considered complete when a participant has received one or more participation-causing benefit (TAA)⁵ or service (Dislocated Worker Program)⁶ from each program⁷. Services must be documented in ASSET by appropriate program staff in each respective program.
