This bill seeks to amend the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) by clarifying the eligibility requirements for providers of training services delivered exclusively online. The amendment specifically targets section 122(c) of WIOA, which outlines procedures for establishing eligible training providers. Under the proposed changes, any provider offering training services solely online must adhere to the eligibility procedures established by the relevant state. Crucially, if a participant selects an online-only provider not physically located in the state where their training services were approved, that provider will be ineligible to receive WIOA funds from that state. This ineligibility applies unless the online provider is explicitly included on the list of eligible training providers for that specific state and program.
