Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 877 - Workforce Development Board and Workforce Development Center Administration Division › Chapter 28 - Forms and Informational Materials › Rule 877-28.1 - Forms

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
Forms listed below in numeric sequence are the forms used by
				the division of workforce development center administration. The listing
				includes: claims and benefit forms, job orders and related areas, order filling
				and related areas, alien employment certification, complaints, work force
				investment program, mentoring program, Iowa conservation corps, state labor
				management program, work opportunity tax credit, job training partnership
				program, and Trade Act of 1974 forms.
Generally, the employer does not have to request the forms used
				in the claims and benefit procedures since the division sends them
				automatically after a claim for job insurance has been filed by a former
				employee or one who is on a laid-off status. The claimant will receive many of
				these forms in the local workforce development center during or following the
				filing of an initial claim or within the nonmonetary determination or continued
				claim process. Similarly the employer does not have to request the forms used
				in the contribution (tax) and charges procedure or in the employer records and
				reports procedures since the division sends them automatically. However, if the
				forms are not received, the employer must obtain them from Department of
				Workforce Development, 1000 East Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50319.
The job order, job application and related forms are forms used
				by applicants, employer, or division employees when an individual is seeking
				work through a workforce development center or when an employer uses the
				workforce development centers to fill job vacancies to obtain job applicants.
				The forms are either supplied or obtainable from the division at 150 Des Moines
				Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50309.
This rule is intended to implement Federal Regulation
				7
				CFR 273.7(d) and Iowa Code
				chapters 96 and 84A.
