An initial application for a Disaster project should only address the temporary job creation component. Although workforce investment employment-related services may be provided to project participants who need them following employment in the clean-up, restoration, and humanitarian assistance effort, the fully documented plan or a separate modification request to use NEG funds to provide these services will be required, as described in the grant award.
This submission should occur at the point in time at which an adequate assessment of the need for workforce investment employment-related assistance has been completed (generally no more than 4-6 months after the initial grant award). Where this request includes approval for additional funding for the project, it will require a separate approval by the Secretary.
MODIFICATION OR ADDITIONAL REQUEST: Workforce Investment Employment-Related Services for Disaster Project Participants
Where a significant number of permanently dislocated and/or long-term unemployed individuals have been temporarily employed in clean-up, restoration and humanitarian assistance activities, and there are not sufficient formula funds to provide needed assistance to transition them into permanent employment, the Department will consider a request to use approved but unneeded project funds, and/or a request for additional NEG funds, to provide reemployment assistance. This request should generally be submitted four to six months following the grant award for the temporary job creation.
