  1. When a recipient does not have the capacity to correct a violation(s), or when it’s clear that the recipient has failed or refuses to do so, DCEO is required to respond by imposing sanctions (Attachment 9.2).  EOMC has procedures in place to impose sanctions when all attempts to provide assistance to effect voluntary correction of a violation have failed, or when it is apparent that the recipient fails or refuses to correct the violation within the timeframe established.  DCEO reserves the right to take enforcement proceedings as approved by the Director of DCEO when corrective actions are not carried out to comply with WIOA regulations include suspension, termination, and denial of funding.  DCEO explicitly considers sanctions as the actions enforced through judicial process when a recipient refuses or fails to carry out corrective actions.
  2. Due to either findings of discrimination as part of a complaint investigation, or compliance review, written notifications shall be issued to recipients of their noncompliance.  Supportive documentation will indicate findings and methods to accomplish voluntary compliance in a corrective-action plan.  The State WIOA EO Officer works with the non-compliant entity to establish necessary schedules to correct the violation.  In the case of a finding of discrimination, the corrective-action plan must provide for whole relief.  The State WIOA EO Officer may make recommendations for sanctions to the DCEO Director when the recipient does not comply with the established action plan.
