Workforce Development System Technical Advisory #06-2

TO:	Chairpersons of Local Workforce Investment Boards Chief Elected Officials WIA Grant Recipients WIA Fiscal Agents WIA Local Area Contact Persons
Attention:	LWIA Swipe Card Policy and Technical Contacts
Subject:	Extension of the LWIA Swipe Card Reporting Schedule and Announcement of New Annual Report
Purpose:	To alert LWIAs to the extension of the current Swipe Card monthly reporting schedule and the addition of a new annual report for identifying unique customers by program year
Note:	This Technical Advisory renders TA 05-12, Extension of the LWIA Swipe Card Reporting Schedule, issued July 15, 2005, obsolete.
Background:	The attached timetable provides local workforce investment areas with a schedule that extends the current monthly Swipe Card reporting schedule. As in the past, the “Unique Customers” monthly report is calculated by adding the number of customers served in the prior year with the number served to date in the current program year. Therefore, the Unique Customers report start date is July 1, 2004. In order to measure system growth and use, there is a need to isolate the number of unique customers by program year. Therefore, a new report, PY 05 Unique Customers, has been added for the period of July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. The annual report will be due at the conclusion of each program year.
Action:	Commencing immediately, all LWIAs are expected to use the attached schedule for sending standard reports to NYSDOL. Reports are due the 10th of each month. One comprehensive LWIA report should be emailed to Stephen Ryan at Stephen.Ryan@labor.state.ny.us. Questions regarding the reporting requirements should also be directed to Steve at the email address above.
