A Local Workforce Innovation Board (LWIB) has the authority to deny approval of initial or continued eligibility or revoke the status of eligibility, and remove it from the eligible training provider list for a training provider or for a training program.

  1. In accordance with WIOA, the eligibility of a training provider or its program(s) may be revoked and the training program removed from the approved list of training programs under the following circumstances:
    1. Its annual performance fails to meet the minimum standards set by the State of Illinois or the LWIB for the WIOA performance measures;
      (Note: At the time of issuance of this policy, the State of Illinois has not set minimum performance measures other than the requirement to provide performance data, if available.)
    2. If it is determined at any time that the training provider intentionally supplied inaccurate information in its application for eligibility or continued eligibility;
    3. The training provider substantially violated any requirement under WIOA or WIA; or
    4. The training provider voluntarily chooses to cease being an eligible training provider or goes out of business.
  2. Training programs that are removed from the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) because of a failure in performance shall remain off the list for a period of not less than one (1) year at which time the training provider may re-apply for continued eligibility of the program.
  3. In accordance with WIOA, training programs that have been removed from the list of approved training programs based on the reasons found in paragraph 1.b. or paragraph 1.c. above:
    1. Shall remain off the ETPL for a period of not less than two (2) years at which time the training provider may reapply for continued eligibility of the training program;
    2. May prompt the revocation and removal of all other training programs of the training provider for a period of no less than two (2) years as determined by the LWIB; and
    3. May result in the following actions being taken against the training provider:
      1. The eligibility of the training provider may be revoked;
      2. The eligibility of the training provider to receive funds for the program in question may be terminated;
      3. Any disallowed costs may be recovered; and
      4. The State of Illinois or LWIB may take any other action it deems appropriate.
  4. LWIAs shall cease to enroll customers in a training program that has had its eligibility revoked.
    1. Customers who have already been enrolled in such training programs shall be allowed to remain through completion.
    2. If it is deemed necessary to immediately close a training program (for such reasons as the training provider committed egregious violations or went out of business) the customers of such program(s) should be provided the opportunity to enroll in a similar program.
