To: NPWDB Job Center Operator NPWDB Training Providers NPWDB Partnering Agencies From: NPWDB, Inc. Policy Number: 26 Date: September 16, 2015 Effective Date: September 16, 2015 Subject: American Job Center Cost Methodology – Cost Allocation Plan “Cost allocation” relates to the common costs of the local One Stop System or American Job Center(s). Cost allocation is a concept that is based on the premise that federal programs are to bear an equitable proportion of shared costs based on the benefit received by each program. Under WIOA, American Job Centers are not direct recipients of federal awards. Rather, they are the locations through which several workforce development programs operate their programs in partnership with other entities and make their services available to the program beneficiaries. WIOA requires that a portion of funds provided under various federal laws authorizing a required partner’s program be used to pay for the creation, maintenance and infrastructure of the regional one stop system and the provisions of Core Services that are applicable to the individual partner’s program. It also requires individual partner participation in the operation of the one stop system in a manner consistent with the terms of the region’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and the partner’s authorizing law. Subsequently, required partners will include the allocable share of common/shared costs in their total cost picture to determine the total cost of operations to perform the functions for which they were funded. Responsibilities of required partners include: making Core and Career Services available to participants that are applicable to their programs including, but not limited to, basic labor exchanges; using a portion of their funds to create and maintain the One Stop System including the infrastructure; entering into a MOU with the local board regarding the operation of the One Stop System; and, participating in the operation of the One Stop System in a manner consistent with the MOU and the partner’s authorizing law. It should be emphasized that Core Services are the minimum services required to be provided at comprehensive Job Center(s) and partners are encouraged to provide such additional services at Job Centers so as to allow them to better serve their customers. A Cost Allocation Plan is to be developed by Job Center Staff for regional American Job Centers. A process is to be developed and used when allocating costs among required partners (and non-required partners).
