As you become more familiar with the process there are a couple of key documents that will be required to be able to receive funding for students.

• Acceptance Letter/Fee Schedule: WorkSource Board staff will request this form when a student has been approved for training
• WIOA Attendance Verification Form: Training Providers will need to submit this form with an invoice
• Customer Change Notification: Training Providers will need to submit this form to inform WorkSource Board staff of changes in customer progress (student not attending, not completing assignments or when the student completes the program, obtains a credential and/or employment).

More information on engaging with the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker Process can be found in the frequently asked questions and in the Regional Training Provider Meetings.
