  1. Each LWIA will monitor their sub-recipients annually and provide DCEO with their findings and corrective actions. Each LWIA is expected to monitor their subrecipients (Illinois workNet Centers, affiliates and training providers) annually, like the method used by the State. LWIA monitors will use similar monitoring tools and processes that the State EO Officers utilize to identify problem areas, operational weaknesses and to develop corrective actions plans. Follow-up visits may be scheduled as necessary to ensure that the appropriate corrective actions were completed. In demonstrating compliance with CRC regulations, it is necessary for an LWIA grant recipient who has received WIOA financial assistance from the State to show its adherence to policies, procedures and systems contained in the State’s Nondiscrimination Plan. Included in the documents section is the monitoring instrument used during on-site monitoring visits to acquire data from the LWIA recipients.
  2. The monitoring instrument does not create new legal requirements or change current legal requirements, as its purpose is to facilitate an evaluation of the extent to which recipients are complying with the following administrative obligations:
    1. Designation of State and Local Equal Opportunity (EO) Officers;
    2. Notice and Communication;
    3. Review Assurances, Job Training Plan, Contracts and Policies, and Procedures;
    4. Universal Access;
    5. Compliance with Section 504;
    6. Data and Information Collection;
    7. Compliance Monitoring;
    8. Complaint Processing Procedures; and
    9. Corrective Actions/Sanctions.
  3. DCEO Accessibility Checklist is an extension of the monitoring instrument used to determine compliance with disability requirements found in 29 CFR Part 38 and Section 188. The Accessibility Checklist identifies the basic requirements under Section 188 of WIOA. It includes portions of the regulations that implement Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act as applicable to LWIA grant recipients concerning the operation of their WIOA programs and activities.
