WIOA Title I-A & I-B Policy & Procedure Manual Ch. 11) Performance Accountability and Reporting
11.6 Exclusions from Performance Indicators
Effective date: August 7, 2017
The following exclusions are outlined in federal guidance. These exclusions apply to the following measures:
Employment Rate (Quarter 2)
Employment Rate (Quarter 4)
Placement Rate (Quarter 2)
Placement Rate (Quarter 4)
Median Earnings
Credential Attainment Rate
Measurable Skill Gain
Exclusions are applied to performance reporting at exit and up to four quarters after exit.
Institutionalized: Participant exits the program because he or she has become
incarcerated in a correctional institution or has become a resident of an institution or facility
providing 24-hour support such as a hospital or treatment center while receiving services as a
participant. There is no minimum length of stay in an institution to qualify for the use of the
institutionalized exclusion; however, the exclusion may only be used when the participant is
unable to continue to receive program services. 1
Health/Medical: Participant exits the program because of medical treatment
and that treatment is expected to last longer than 90 days and precludes entry into unsubsidized
employment or continued participation in the program.
Deceased: Participant is deceased.
Reserve Forces called to Active Duty: Participant exits the program because the
participant is a member of the National Guard or other reserve military unit of the armed forces and
is called to active duty for at least 90 days.
Foster Care: Participant is in the foster care system as defined in
45 CFR 1355.20(a),
and exits the program because the participant has moved from the area as part of such a program or system.
This exclusion only applies to the WIOA Title I Youth Program.
1 This is a state interpretation of the lack of a minimum stay in an institution
the provides 24-hour support such as a hospital or treatment center. Without this clause, a participant could
be exited and excluded from performance indicators for one night in a hospital or jail. That is not the
federal intent.
